`isolinux`
-----------
2018-01-09 21:48:04 -05:00
A bootloader for legacy boot, specifically the ISO/USB image.
It is assumed it is of the SYSLINUX family, probably ISOLINUX.
Technically the ISOLINUX setup is to be configured to use a 800×600 resolution.
This resolution ensures a maximum number of machines to be compatible, and
still allows enough definition.
It is also assumed that legacy boot **is not really used anymore**. Most recent
hardware will be using the UEFI bootloader. This is why the image is made
assuming 4:3 aspect ratio; most of the legacy boot uses are assumed to be on
virtual machines, where the bootloader will be shown with square pixels.
`refind`
--------
A bootloader for (U)EFI boot. While not generally used with NixOS, a first
draft for a themed UEFI bootloader is made using refind.
### `refind/icons`
Icons are from or adapted from the breeze icons projects of KDE, available
