OK.  I think it's good that genkernel has that option, definitely.

But it seems to me like it would be much cleaner from a Catalyst
perspective (and certainly simpler for the user) if there were a
Catalyst option that took a filename, then Catalyst would handle putting
that file into the chroot and adding --linuxrc to the argument list of
genkernel pointing to that file.

No?

Hm, sorry for my noobie brain, but I didn't grok that sentence :-)

What's "the embedded build type" and where would I set about looking for
it?


Thanks!
