I'll probably try unpacking the ISO and see if that does the trick :) I guess all I should need to do is mount rescue.bin and copy the new custom kernel into it, overwriting linux.bin and then run rdev.sh.
Is there a configuration file to tell the loader where to find the kernel because there are at least 2 boot-floppy folders on my ISO, both of which contain valid kernels?

Hrm, do you have a local mirror and have checked out debian-cd? I suspect that you can then just create your own "flavour" of kernel, and drop it into the boot-floppies area, then persuade debian-cd/tools/boot/boot-i386 to use that flavour for one of the CDs, or include it in the ISOLINUX choices... Or just unpack one of the ISOs to a directory, do a switcheroo on kernel and drivers.tgz files and remake the ISO, which is hackier but probably less buy-in :} -- Steve Haslam http://www.arise.demon.co.uk/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Maintainer [EMAIL PROTECTED] almost called it today, turned to face the void, numb with the suffering and the question- "Why am I?"
