Philip,

I don't think you completely understand runnix (which is OK...it's 
somewhat confusing at first).

The biggest benefit is you setup your compact flash card to accept 
runnix images ONE TIME.  The syslinux.cfg file doesn't need to be in the 
astlinux repository.  Once the compact flash (or other device) is 
configured for runnix, that base doesn't have to ever change (unless 
runnix itself is updated).  All you need to do is drop in new images 
into the 'os' directory.

syslinux.cfg is part of runnix which is a separate project.  I believe 
the download from the runnix project website uses the console output 
rather than serial (Kris, correct me if I'm wrong).  In any case, there 
really should be two downloads.  runnix-console and runnix-serial to 
accommodate the two different situations.

Does that make sense?
