I thought you just wanted the config. If you look in the bootloader menu, |
| 15 |
either from the menu itself or at its config file on the disc, you will |
| 16 |
see the path to the kernel it is using. |

If the live DVD uses GRUB, the config is at grub.cfg as usual. If it uses |
| 19 |
isolinux it will be either /isolinux/isolinux.cfg or |
| 20 |
/boot/isolinux.isolinux.cfg. |
