Is there a GUI way to go on that El Torito thang?  I'd dearly love to
make bootable CDs yet am too lazy to create a 650 MB partition and edit
machine code for the boot bits.  Any help gratefully appreciated.

Generic kernel definitely a no-can-do.  However, loading rh-9, updates
and then win4lin apparently produces different results than compiling a
custom kernel.  The altered win4lin kernel that loads using the
aforementioned method may be the root cause for failure.

I have yet to try creating a custom patched kernel mainly because I am
ignorant regarding the correct procedure.
