Absolutely right. The closest I'd be willing to go towards making a change, would be some form of kernel selection menu on the first CD, still with the vanilla 2.2 kernel as the default, but giving people the choice even if they only get CD#1. That would be conditional on some evidence being forthcomming that the resulting CD would be bootable on at least as many machines as is currently the case. Can anyone provide that? The ISOLINUX/MEMDISK thing mentioned earlier looks interesting. Has anyone played with this? Presumably we could use MEMDISK to select between boot floppies, with no changes required to the boot floppy images, so would only change things by bumping a few packages off the end of CD#1.
