3d30349dee Remove occurrences of KERNEL from syslinux.cfg
syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel
by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit
versions instead:
LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too)
COM32 - for COM32 modules
COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now)
See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#KERNEL_file

86ca33e76d Rename all occurrences of isolinux to syslinux
The name of the bootloader is syslinux, while isolinux is just one
of many components. isolinux.bin now also accepts syslinux.cfg
as a configuration file name (as do all other loaders).

Thus, rename the isolinux/ folder to syslinux/, and rename
isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. The only occurrence of 'isolinux'
is now the actual loader file 'isolinux.bin'. This makes
the transition from isolinux to the other syslinux loaders
easier when remastering the ISO onto another medium.

3c7340c6aa Add HDT to the boot menu
HDT is a hardware detection/info tool. It will show information about your hardware,
including PCI devices. It will also show the names of the kernel modules that will
support your devices.

1bbeeb0e5b Rename directories and parameteres to be more descriptive
* squashfs images that will be part of read-only branchs for union mount in /
  are mounted on /ro_branch/{image_name} instead of /tmpfs/mnt/{image_name}
  (and avoid empty dirs on live env under /mnt)
* tmpfs that will be part of read-write branch for union mount in /
  is mounted on /rw_branch instead of /tmpfs
* tmpfs that is for store *.sqfs images when copytoram=y, is mounted on
  /copytoram instead of /tmpfs.sqfs

* tmpfs_size= parameter renamed to rw_branch_size=
* tmpfs_sqfs_size= parameter renamed to copytoram_size=

180d9b1cc5 [archiso2dual] Refactor the code
Notable changes:
* -R option added. Used to specify a file with a list of files or directories
     to remove from root-image.sqfs. This option only works with -T full.
     A list of files/directories that will be removed is printed.
* -T purge_us profile removed, now is managed via -R option.

* Profiles looks now:
  -T <profile>     Type of target image (work is done on root-image.sqfs):
         basic:    join both images, no changes in root-image
         split:    'basic' + split out usr/share/ and lib/modules/ from root-image
         full:     'split' + remove specified directories (with -R) from root-image

* Code is now a bit small made by some refactions.

e684241e0e Revert back isohybrid offset to default setting.
This revert back the commit 991a5c69.
This causes more problems than solving (fixing the warning issue in parted)

With the default offset 0:
* makes posibble to create others extra partitions on USB key
  and use them inside the live enviroment.
* makes posible to use /dev/disk/by-label/ symlinks.
  archiso_early hook, can be removed.

Note: archboot also uses the default offset 0.
