For Relax-and-Recover we need the syslinux version to know what
capabilities are working to generate a configuration file, and our script
does the following until it finds a match:
extlinux --version
syslinux --version
strings isolinux.bin | awk '/^ISOLINUX / { print $2 }'
strings pxelinux.0 | awk '/^PXELINUX / { print $2 }'
Maybe that is useful to you ?
