Hello!
Over the last few months I have been working on implementing Syslinux
support into the Arch Linux Installer. As a result, I ended up writing a
helper script called syslinux_install_update.
https://gist.github.com/772138
-----------
Usage:
This script will install or upgrade Syslinux
OPTIONS:
-h Show this message
-i Install Syslinux
-u Update Syslinux
-a Set Boot flag on boot partiton
-m Install Syslinux MBR
-s Updates Syslinux if /boot/syslinux/SYSLINUX_AUTOUPDATE exists
Arguments Required:
-c Chroot install (ex: -c /mnt)
Example Usage: syslinux-install_update.sh -i -a -m (install, set boot
flag, install mbr)
syslinux-install_update.sh -u (update)
-----------
Supports
* RAID Installs
* CCISS and ISA controllers
* SCSI/SATA drives
* MBR and GPT partition tables
Limitations
* Bash 4 Features
* Uses findmnt so requires a kernel > 2.6.24
Is my script something that might want to be added to Syslinux? If so,
what would need to be done?
Thanks,
pyther
