This is (when configured) a part of the installation of openSUSE. However, is: Checking the YaST code, it looks to me like YaST currently uses similar functionality coming from syslinux. Which would mean that it is indeed not needed any more (I'm not aware of any other user and it was split off from the yast2-bootloader package from legal reasons). Josef, could you, please, confirm that I did not miss anything and this "flaver" of generic boot code is not used any more? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then the question is: Why do we need it for gfxboot and installatino-image? For the later I can understand it is a left-over, but for gfxboot...

It's not used in installation-images.

OK, it is probably because of some dependencies, but the build log includes installing it :-)

For gfxboot it's used in a testing function. But that could easily be replaced, afaics.

Makes sense to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
