Since I got no answers, let's rephrase it :)
Is it correct that the globally defined append is only used for sections
(labels) that have no append line ?
I was hoping the globally defined append was prepended to the locally
(section) append. It would be nice if somehow this functionality is
possible.
Another solution would be to have variables or macros so we can substitute
recurring options in order to make the isolinux.cfg easier to understand
and manage. (And prevent human errors)
And I would like to use a page on the wiki to add feature requests, either
those that are accepted explicitely, or both a list of accepted and
rejected feature requests?
I like the idea that users can discuss about features and they are being
documented (and revised by developers?) until the design is ok. It might
help others to contribute an implementation if some feature has been acked
and the design/functionality is described.
Also a list of rejected features (with a rational and/or links to
alternatives) seems to be useful.
Kind regards,
