Adding a label to isolinux.cfg doesn't seem to work under fc1

Erik,

    To debug it you can, once the system has booted from the CDROM, and 
the install is away to setup the partitions, pressing F2 will give you a 
shell. Type

cat /proc/cmdline


This will tell you the options the system was booted with.


Cheers

Iain
