* UEFI boot support (FS#20419) At some time I want to support UEFI boot. But I do not have any real hardware to test it. Neither UEFI firmware for qemu (two versions tested) or virtualbox works fine, testing with some UEFI compatible mediums without happy results. No need to hurry here. Afaik UEFI and linux (or UEFI in general) has quite some problems and regressions over the default BIOS boot. I have such hardware, but what the bug report does not mention is that it works

I read some weeks ago that some UEFI implementations always/only read a "default" location in UEFI partitions, assuming that the only OS that will be used is Windows, breaking the "ecosystem" under /EFI directory.
* syslinux keymaps (FS#21725) I worked on this some time ago, but I want some feedback from people that needs this, we need a trivial lilo patch for keymaps generation. It would be cool if one could choose the keymap/language from a syslinux menu and then also propagate this info to the live system to use the same values here as well.
* md5sum Self check of all files (mostly important *.sfs), as boot option, executed at initramfs stage. $install_dir/checksums.md5 That would be cool and very useful imho.
