my god, how do you do it? I'd ask the usual question, except I don't
sleep much any more and I still can't keep up :-)
I strongly agree with chucking the syslinux parameters in favor of a
config file -- ideally a single config file that handles anything
dsitribution-specific (as opposed to configuration which is present in
or mimics "regular Linux" or belongs to an application).
