I suppose "very good state" is a relative term, upstream hasn't seen a release since 2016 so is essentially "unmaintained", not sure it supports secure boot, probably has a bunch of CVEs (see point about maintenance). I think it only lives on in Fedora is because I think it's used for some (.iso?) install method, AFIACT it's eventually glued back together when it fails to build and is generally ignored. > for all my booting needs (grub2 is too complex for me): > > * PXE/Legacy,UEFI > * Physical (partition) Legacy, ESP-UEFI > * VM Legacy - for VMs (and USB sticks) usually it is not even needed > to partition the VM disk, just extlinux the VM FS volume. > I do not tried VM/UEFI so far. > > so (in my experience) any instance will have easy switchable > UEFI/Non-UEFI boot option even if the other bootloaders discontinue > legacy mode support. > > I do not know if syslinux/extlinux have support in Anaconda, since I am > not using Anaconda for my imaging needs. > > Kind Regards, > Alek > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
