Let's update the syslinux theme for DVDs with the newer & cleaner design. lorax-treebuilder then needs a new theme template to apply to Fedora 16. I'll assign the bug to myself initially so I can create the template for you, then I'll reassign to the default component owner.
Created attachment 520640 [details] New, clean syslinux config for the DVD I grabbed the syslinux config from the lorax git repo and modified it. I tested it using a live usb stick and it seemed to look good.

Hi Martin, I'm reassigning this to you to update the file now. I'll attach some screenshots too so you can see how it will look.

Created attachment 520651 [details] Updated new/clean syslinux.config for the DVD I forgot to comment out the local boot option. We'd discussed this last time around in #anaconda and had decided it was not necessary since most people reboot and pull the stick/dvd to achieve this anyway.

Discussed at 2011-09-02 NTH review meeting. Accepted as NTH: it's a slightly dangerous change but we're confident we can test it, and the cosmetic benefit is significant.
Where did you get the original syslinux.cfg file from? I'm concerned with the @ROOT@ variable inside. The syslinux.cfg that is in anaconda, which we are providing, has no @ROOT@.
Hi Martin, I got it from the Lorax git repo, see http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=lorax.git;a=blob;f=share/config_files/syslinux.cfg;h=599ad99a20e62fc7f5e98bbb7375db2e8c3f090b;hb=treebuilder
I thought so. The treebuilder branch is not yet used to do f16 composes. But I'll do the necessary changes.
so, RC1 was a bit of a swing-and-a-miss: the bootloader background is plain black on all lives and the DVD.
The version this will be fixed in was not built yet, I'm just going to make a new build today, so the images you have don't have this fix.
