Installation of Kernal.

[Frank Carmickle]

Hi

I don't know about redhat's installation but I would hope that they would
allow you to use a shell.  If not you should be able to say on the
syslinux prompt
"imagename" root=/dev/"rootpartision"  Then just put your own kernel
together after you have speech.
