I've been using various versions of syslinux as the boot loader for the g4l
project that I have been the maintainer of since 2004. It was already using
syslinux, so I've just updated it over the years, and currently have it use 5.10
version, but have done test builds with the 6.x versions.
Recently had request from to users about EFI support, and one suggested
that virtualbox has option for testing, so I cloned the current testing of the
ISO to and EFI format, but just get a shell, so it requires some more steps.
Did some searching, but haven't found anything that seems to have the exact
steps. Also, not sure if I could make a single iso that would work with both, or
have to create two different versions. In testing 6.x of syslinux, I just copied
the files to a different directory and replace the 5.x versions with 6.x
versions, and build process remained the same.
Currently, 7 timezones away from my build machines, so doing work via VNC
and Virtual box for testing?
Thanks, and keep up the great work.
