Do a "grep -i grub /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/*.ks" and see
what you get. Only one of the .ks files mentions grub (none mention grub2 nor grubby). I
guess that means that spin-kickstarts-0.16.1-1.fc16.noarch isn't current for Fedora 16
but that isn't much of a surprise.
Try with spin-kickstarts-0.16.4-1.fc16.noarch from updates-testing.
In other news, my rebuild of the stock KDE spin using the kickstarts
from spin-kickstarts came out to be 1.6 GB in size. My own remix is under 1.8 GB in
Fedora 15 but on Fedora 16 it is around 2.1 GB. With Fedora 15 they switched to xz
compression... and it saved a lot of space. Something is really out of whack with the
compression now.
That seems like a premature conclusion. Packages get more features and
grow bigger and get more dependencies.
Going over 2G might reveal bugs in some tools. That could perhaps
explain the isohybrid error you mentioned.
