Regarding the roofnet images,
I note that the latest roofnet releases are for the 2.4.26 kernel, whereas
the CDs install the 2.4.20rn kernel. I note the i386/RPMS directory which
has a kernel 2.4.26 RPM. I dropped that and other things which are newer
in that directory onto the CD, and installed, but ran into problems. First
is that in /boot the kernel is vmlinuz-2.4.20 where grub.conf is looking
for vmlinuz-2.4.20-4. I know how to boot up with a live CD, and make a
symlink in /boot to fix this, but it occurs to me that I am not doing this
upgrade the correct way, as the new roofnet dist that I dropped onto the
CD isn't installed for some reason. So, what is the proper way for doing
this?

With roofnet-minidist, I note that it installs to /dev/hda1, which is sort
of strange as that's where my boot disk expects to be. Any reason I can't
change this? Or modify the script to make in generic?

Also in the minidist, the install script tries to nfs mount a system at
MIT and copy over the files. I don't have permission to access this. Are
these any different than the files that are in the remainder of the
minidist tarball?

Lastly, I note the use of lilo. Any particular reason for this? I know
lilo like the back of my hand, which makes it useful, but syslinux is a
lot smaller so it might be better suited for the 'minidist'.

p.s. Is this the right forum for these questions?
