Rolling my own - install kernel
As some of you may remember, I am interested in "rolling my own Debian".
This would be a minimal ISO but with an up to date 2.4.23 for new
drivers, and perhaps the Nvidia ones as well. The purpose is to give me
a way to install on bleeding-edge motherboards with SATA RAID etc.
I've decided that the best way for me is to take a normal woody disk 1
ISO, mount it, and change it as necessary.
If I compile a custom kernel that I want to use for the install, how can
I alter my ISO tree so that this kernel is provided as an install
option. I'm not bothered about changing the blurb, I just want to be
able to type something else at the boot: prompt, and get it to use my
kernel.
I have tried the d-i ISO, but I don't want sarge, and it didn't detect
my RAID as a RAID, but rather two separate drives.

appreciated.)
