...more investigations, I'm a little worried about add the extX support to mtools/syslinux: 1) Its name is mtools/syslinux, can't express the libext2fs. 2) The mtools/syslinux isn't fully functioned, for example, as the code shows: if (opt.sectors || opt.heads || opt.reset_adv || opt.set_once || (opt.update_only > 0) || opt.menu_save) { fprintf(stderr, "At least one specified option not yet implemented" " for this installer.\n"); exit(1); How about add an e2fs/syslinux, please ? // Robert > >...
