I don't know if it was ever in past version, since when I took over the G4L 
project back in 2004, it was using the syslinux from the kernel.org site. I have 
upgraded it from that site of many years. Just noticed that the dnf update 
updated the Fedora syslinux to 6.04 on Aug 3rd, so looked into the files.

Used the script below to copy all the files from the Fedora 30 files to the 
project director for the iso image build. So, the fact that it has all the .c32 files 
with the exception of the display.c32 one brought the question? If it has not 
been included in the Fedora syslinux install, why? It seems to date back to 
2004, and it is still in the git clone version of syslinux. It seems it was left out, 
but not sure if there was a reason, or it was just overlooked, since it isn't a 
required file, but many of the other c32 files are not required. cat.c32 is 
similar in what it does, but that all the others are there, but not just that one.


Script to copy the files. Note: display.c32 isn't included??
cp /usr/share/syslinux/cat.c32 -p .
cp /usr/share/syslinux/cpuid.c32 -p .
cp /usr/share/syslinux/cpuidtest.c32 -p .
cp /usr/share/syslinux/display.c32 -p .
#display.32 is not found on fc30??
