Hi. In <http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/debian-boot-200306/msg00359.html> I suggested a patch to make use of syslinux's new capability to write to unmounted images in order to be able to build as normal user. A oneliner to allow older sed versions to be used (seperate module names by " " instead of "\n") was also included. I've attached an updated patch. Is this entirely unattractive or just not a priority right now? If the latter is the case, which would be the most appropriate package to file wishlist bugs against? Cheers T.
