Hi Harald,

I have been looking at integrating kernel-install with Arch and I ran
across a few questions:

*) With /boot on fat, 'add' fails for me due to not being able to use
"cp --preserve". How is this meant to work (or was it just not tested
on fat)? Dropping "--preserve" makes it work for me.

*) How come the interface of kernel-install is not the same as what is
used by "make install" in the kernel? With the below kernel patch make
install "just works". Was there a reason for the different interface,
or would you be open to adding compatibility with the kernel script?
(I could of course just ship a shim script, but I'd rather not).
