Re: [debian-knoppix] Suse style Framebuffer boot
Ah, that framebuffer thing is nice work.
As for the syslinux vs. isolinux discussion:
I use isolinux for more than a year by now to boot 8 different kernels
together with an 1.44MB floppy-image and rawrite for those
non-el-torito-enabled BIOSes.
Its nice to be able to boot into your installed OS by just choosing the
localboot entry.
However having multiple kernels has disadvantages for maintaining, testing
as well as space consumption as you have to compile modules for all
supported hardware and cloop for all supported kernels. see:
du -s /lib/modules/*
and for anyone happening to read this - want to have a look at the
compactest way of making your own customized bootcd?
