[Ian Bannerman]

I'm going to get the hang of this mailing list eventually. Apologies for any duplicate emails..

Not really. I had never found a convincing source for it and had seen previous list entries like this one -http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-November/021108.html - suggesting the Perl version.




I did not know the Perl version did not support the EFI/Mac changes. For my use, that's critical, so I will not be using the Perl version further. (Thank you for the clarification there)

Now I'm confused, if Tails is able to use the .pl for the purpose of installing on OS X that would suggest it does have the EFI/Mac updates..?




If the Perl version was available, yeah, that would make my ISO build processes easier  Smiling face with smiling eyes
