Correction, grub2 uses the same kernel/initramdisk but grub2 for EFI uses the pxeimage one. I guess all could use the single copy. They don't actually use up any more space. They are hardlinked to the same data. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
Hello, a livecd generated by lorax contains both initramdisk and kernel twice. This probably makes the ISO much more bigger: # find . ! -empty -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort | uniq -w32 -dD 6b37ecf48c8efff50ef5417105da9d85 ./images/pxeboot/initrd.img 6b37ecf48c8efff50ef5417105da9d85 ./isolinux/initrd.img f9c5cc6840ab0093475b3b0699f4e58b ./images/pxeboot/vmlinuz f9c5cc6840ab0093475b3b0699f4e58b ./isolinux/vmlinuz I think the "pxeboot" directory is included by accident, why would PXE files be present on a livecd when there is an option in lorax to build PXE files instead? SYSLINUX appears to be using kernel from /images directory however Grub2 is using the one from /images/pxeboot.
