There used to be two on the ISO with syslinux (but they were effectively
hardlinked, so that didn't matter), didn't realize that'd been reduced.
There's also two inside install.img, /boot/vmlinux-<version> and
/usr/lib/modules/<version>/vmlinuz. This is what I'm not sure if it's
linked, or if the squashfs compression makes it an effective wash, or
what; extracting the squashfs does not result in hardlinked files.
I checked, it's not hardlinked. I'd hope that squashfs does the right
thing and takes advantage of them being the same.
