I use a CD that pulls in a kickstart file (on Ubuntu) from a web server and it works fine with VirtualBox and KVM. I just boot from it and it loads the kickstart file and boots from there. Whenever I want to change boot parameters I just change the kickstart file. I don't think it's exactly what you're looking for but the differences on the CD was exactly one line in the ISOLINUX.cfg file. I changed the append line for the kernel to include the following line and then rebuned the CD. You only have to do this once. append ks=http://my.webserver.com/ubuntu/thales.cfginitrd=/install/initrd.gz quiet -- Grant McWilliams
