Is the procedure to re-create boot.iso with simply the latest kernel from  
updates published anywhere? (I can't find it)

In my case, the original FC4 kernel in CD images doesn't support the hardware  
of my newest box, FC5-devel doesn't install (anaconda under construction) but  
it does boot, so I suspect FC4 update kernels would too...
