Is possible to make debian-installer with full vmlinuz (eg 2.6.27)instead of busybox?


Hello,

It is just a question regarding ISO and the lack of -o loop or function of busybox.

One can custom the ISO of debian-installer and make a
syslinux config file having :
vmlinuz of one normally running installed Debian distro,
and keep the initrd of the iso regular debian-installer.

I think it may be conflicting the vmlinuz kernel version and the installer of initrd.

I am learning, so it may be completely wrong or ... kernel panic.

Best regards

Why not just include the binaries you want on the installation media and add that directory to your path?
