[WBEL-users] How to create a "Bodged" Whitebox respin Install CD allow installon new hardware.

[Gary Mansell]

Dear all

Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to create a "bodged" Whitebox
install CD that has the latest kernel on it so that it is possible to
install Whitebox on the latest hardware that is around now.

Looking at the CD and John's instructions, it seems to me that it should
be easy to put a later kernel on the boot CD by burning a new one with a
later kernel's vmlinuz file in the /isolinux directory of the CD. This,
I presume will allow the installer to run with the new hardware. I guess
that the real problem is how to install the latest kernel rpm at install
time. Can anyone give me any ideas here?

I presume that the rest of the packages can be up2dated in the normal
manner after a reboot into the newly installed kernel.

Any help gladly appreciated as I have not been able to install Whitebox
onto any of the new machines that I have been buying recently.

Thanks in advance

Gary Mansell
