The info you are looking at there is for CentOS-7 .. the syslinux for CentOS-6 is here:

http://vault.centos.org/6.7/os/Source/SPackages/syslinux-4.04-3.el6.src.rpm

The CentOS team did not modify that source code, we just built it as is.

That source code produces the syslinux binary used by CentOS-6 (from the syslinux-4.04-3.el6.x86_64.rpm (ir i386) RPM).

As to how that happens, we simply use the rpmbuild command to produce the syslinux RPMs, which when installed provide the binary file in question.

Cool! That makes perfect sense to me, and satisfies all of my original points/questions. Thanks again; make my research much easier. :)

Thanks, Johnny Hughes
