#2796 Change proposal: BIOS boot.iso with GRUB2
Closed: Accepted 2 years ago by zbyszek. Opened 2 years ago by bcotton.

Modify lorax-generic-templates to use GRUB2 when booting the boot.iso on BIOS systems, instead of syslinux. Upstream syslinux development is dead, and the Fedora maintainer would like to drop the package from the distribution. GRUB2 works as a replacement in most situations and continues to have upstream support.

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed.
See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.


After seven days, the vote here is (+3, 0, -0), thus this Change is APPROVED.
