right, and replaced with symlinks back to the dirs in /cdrom.
besides the new index.html files the dirs need to be removed
as well.

we tried that, it didn't work. those files are frozen up
inside the squashfs filesystem on the iso.

right, & that's exactly what Angelos is planning on doing.


for 7.0 I've modified rc.local to make this choice at boot time,
based on the availablilty of the installers or not. Since the
mini iso is pretty much ready at this point it's too late for
this round so we'll do some open air brain surgery on the full
iso to fix it by hand this time. Not ideal, but we're pretty
familiar with the method by now.
