Dr. Bruce Simpson@tj @DianeBruce @tykling I don't think this has been merged yet, and I was tracking it, because I used it to build out a lab on #Cisco #UCS metal using #Cobbler for my doctoral work over a decade ago. There was a dependency on #SYSLINUX #MEMDISK and to pick up Cobbler's "kernel command line" for injecting options before the provisioning server can be reached required #loader modifications, some of which have since been implemented and are tracked in #Phabricator .

Jinji the GengarHey #Linux users. This is probably going to be extremely geeky and technical and I'm fully expecting not to understand any of the answers I'm going to receive, if any, but...
If a Linux Distro's official ISO is built using an older version of SysLinux which has since been depreciated, and no newer ISO exists, is there a way to manually rebuild the ISO to use an up-to-date SysLinux instead?

I do want to get rid of #syslinux because it's like 200kB of #Perl that make it harder to make OS/1337 fit a #1440kB FDD.

Luckily @landley already pointed out the solution to me:
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/issues/10#issuecomment-1868276691
So all I need is get rid of my headaches and some time to make the #MinimalLinuxBootloader go brr!

As @landley pointed out, syslinux has perl as dependency and as per observation is consuming quite a lot of space. So far, thanks to @sweetaibelle the following options are on the table: mlb - Mini...
@sassageflare cool...
Where can I download that?
Do you plan to make a #Syslinux Version for i.e. #Ventoy??
Granted I'm open and willing to suggestions to make that happen on the "#CoreEdition" of OS/1337 but as of now that'll be the limit.
Tho this could change later once #syslinux has been replaced with something more efficient...
I guess @landley may also be interested in the alternatives to syslinux for #mkroot / #toybox?

Either way, development is continuing and work is in progress...
