17 Its in :)
18 Add "livecd/genkernel_args" to your livecd-stage2 specfile and you
19 should be set.

21 Note to all - this no longer has to be set in your archscript since it
22 can be done in the specfile, so I am going to remove any genkernel args
23 from your archscripts in cvs. The only arch that had code for that in
24 CVS is sparc ...

26 BTW, expect at least daily commits from my end to catalyst this week. I
27 am working on getting all of the feature requests in for 2004.2.
