Re: ltsp-server vs. syslinux (pxelinux.0)

Why not copy pxelinux.0 from /usr/lib/syslinux while setting up
the /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/* dirs? And speaking of that, why isn't the
dir structure under /var/lib/tftpboot with only ltsp kernel/img/inird
under the ltsp/<arch> dirs?
Tftp gets used for lots of things. We even use pxe for other things.
Why should the ltsp packages focus so much on being stand-alone? 
I have the same issue with the debian/ubuntu version. It seems to me
that packaging the same data multiple times is just bad practice, no
matter how insignificant the data is. 
I guess I just don't understand. Maybe it's because I missed the
discussion that lead to the current dir structure...
