Hi,
We had a brief discussion back in April about s390/s390x CD images,
but I'm still not clear on what people would like me to do here.
At the moment, on all other arches we currently create:
* small CDs (businesscard and netinst)
* full CD and DVD sets
For s390 we've never done the small

Hi,

This is achieved by applying ISOLINUX program isohybrid from a recent
ISOLINYX version to the already produced ISO images. syslinux-4.05
should probably do.
