Thank you H. Peter. I just checked it and the new version doesn't work
"out of the box". It says...
syntax error at keytab-lilo line 4, near "eval "
Execution of keytab-lilo aborted due to compilation errors.

Furthermore, after correcting lines 3 and 4 (which are responsible of
the above error), keyboard maps can't be found (by loadkeys utility)
because of an added bad extension (.map instead of .kmap).

Attached is a patch I wrote in order to make it fully work (apply it
against the version of keytab-lilo which is now in the git tree).

Remove Perl "use" statements that aren't actually required.

Verify that the PXE boot loader is a hybrid-compatible isolinux.bin by
looking for the hybrid boot signature, otherwise print an error
message.

Don't use sysopen() and sysread() when it doesn't make sense.
Especially avoid using sysread() -- sysopen() can be used with read();
the C fdopen() is implicit.

Fix the generation of the partition table in isohybrid; also document

The keytab-lilo script tried to add pathname and extension, but
loadkeys does that better.  Therefore, don't try to be smart.

Begin the process of centralizing configurables.

Improve "make install" and "make netinstall"; add "make
extbootinstall".

Move source files out of the root directory; the root is a mess and
has become virtually unmaintainable.  The Syslinux core now lives in
core/; the Linux and generic utilities has moved into utils/, and
copybs.com has moved into dos/; it had to go somewhere, and it seemed
as good a place as any.
