Well, there's already code somewhere in Fedora that supports syslinux as a boot loader, as all the install and live images use it. It is also the solution for PXE booting (although I don't think there are any tools that handle PXE configuration). Wouldn't it make sense to unify all the boot loader handling code? > In particular, is it impossible/plausible/probable that most > architectures will move to EFI, and if so, will virtualization also > move to EFI eventually?

It doesn't support EFI in today's released versions, but support is in development. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
