...but not installable (I did not try, though), because you do:
# ISOLINUX doesn't respect symlinks :(
mv "$KERNEL_NAME" vmlinuz
whereas in owl-setup we have:
/* RPM'ed kernel - only copy the symlink */
the_iface->ExecWindow("Symlinking the default kernel...");
ExecAndWait(the_config->CpPath().c_str(),
"-pP",
the_config->DefaultKernel().c_str(),
the_config->TargetKernel().c_str(), (const char *)0);
Please correct this in some way, maybe by patching syslinux to respect
symlinks (while doesn't it?)
Thanks,
Alexander
