If one could not boot your latest distro’s because of newer syslinux could one.... possibly lock the

Support on my hardware stopped at syslinux-3.83

Thankfully there some slitaz iso files still on syslinux-3.82. That being said there are many versions (newer and supported) that will not boot on my hardware.

Based on what I am seeing in your tools I have interesting question.....

Could I install v3 and block syslinux-4.0X

then tazpkg set-release to 4.0 and upgrade to get a usable system?

Others have enticed me to build syslinux-3.82 on v4 But I wonder if this would work? I will try installing wget and building old syslinux on my vm tonight.
