I'm actually using a heavily customized version of GNAP, and I have my
own tweaked-out version of gnap_make to control Catalyst.

So, for now I'm just changing the gnap_make section that invokes the
Catalyst to build livecd-stage2 such that it looks in the spec file
and if it sees a livecd/linuxrc: option there it installs my custom
linuxrc into the livecd-stage1 area for me before invoking catalyst.

Building now, so we'll see if that did it...

Ah.  So this is Catalyst 2.x stuff?
