Grub2 for this project might be a good destination. I just don't think<br>
we can throw a F14 iso set out to thousands and thousands of users and<br>
more downloaders without first having tested it as part of our release<br>
cycle. For F15, sure, give it a go and see what pans out.<br>
<br>
I'm not even sure isolinux can chain load like this is trying to do.<br>
I'm getting more and more uncomfortable with this offering all the time.</blockquote>afaik, isolinux can do the same job that grub is currently doing, because its not attempting to chainload the isos. I'm happy to test it tomorrow though.<br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); margin-right: 0px;"><span></span><br>
