Hi,
Actually, (IMHO) the installkernel script probably does not do
as good a job of installing the kernel, it is not idempotent, and it
does not take as many precautions against possible failures (and does
less for error recovery), it does not provide a link to older images
installed.
You are closer about mkboot, though, (even though I'd like
better failure handling and rollback), and it doesn't seem to honor
stuff in the current lilo.conf (just looks at the root=/boot= stuff).
I like the idea of a bootable floppy. I'll see what I can do about
either using mkboot or a version therof for the image postinst.
