This is a security fix.

Changes in 2.02:
        * SYSLINUX: Security flaws have been found in the SYSLINUX
          installer when running setuid root.  Rewrite the SYSLINUX
          installer so it uses mtools instead.  It therefore now
          requires mtools (specifically mcopy and mattrib) to exist on
          your system, but it will not require root privileges and
          SHOULD NOT be setuid.

Title:		syslinux
Version:	2.02
Entered-date:	2003-02-13
Description:	SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system
		which operates off MS-DOS floppies.  It is intended to
		simplify first-time installation of Linux, rescue
		disks, and other uses for boot floppies.  A SYSLINUX floppy
		can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other
		OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once
		it has been created; and requires only a ~ 9K DOS program
		or ~ 19K Linux program to create in the first place.
		Starting with version 1.46 it also includes PXELINUX, a
		program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM
		compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution
		Environment) specification.
		Starting with version 1.60 it also includes ISOLINUX,
		a program to boot off an ISO 9660 in native
		"no-emulation" mode.
		Starting with version 1.65, it additionally includes
		MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from
		nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
