I would expect that something that is forcibly ON by default stays ON, unless I explicitly disable it. But the expected usage of syslinux is indeed that either is usually used, not both (or more, given the following addition of the MBR, too). So, I don't really care either way. Let's see what others think, I'll rework the series if needed. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
