Author: intrigeri Date: To: tails-dev Subject: [Tails-dev] [review'n'merge:1.5] feature/9381-ship-amd64-syslinux
Hi,
as you may know already, Tails Installer uses the syslinux binary
shipped in our ISO, so that the version of the syslinux modules we
install match the version of the syslinux binary being used.
Given this, once Tails Installer is in Debian/Ubuntu, we'll need to
have an amd64 syslinux binary in our ISO filesystem, otherwise Tails
Installer won't work on amd64 installations. The proposed branch
implements that => please review'n'merge into devel.
u.: it would be awesome if you quickly (and possibly hackishly)
patched Tails Installer to make it use utils/linux/syslinux-amd64
instead of utils/linux/syslinux, and tested that on an amd64 Jessie or
sid system. I'm not sure if that filename will work, for example (it
might be that some lame iso9660 restriction applies here). If it
doesn't work due to file naming, perhaps try syslinux.64 and syslin64,
surely one of those will work :)
