Question : Why are your mbr.bin and /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin file different

Hi,

Why are your mbr.bin and /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin file different ?

$  diff /tmp/mbr.bin /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin 
Binary files /tmp/mbr.bin and /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin differ

Does one provide different functionalities over the other ?

The MBR provided is the one from Microsoft. I wrote it using Microsoft's bootsect, then I dumped it using dd. You can verify if you want it. There are no special functionalities using either.
