Could we finally use this opportunity to try and unify our kernel configs?
As I have said, iso/data/config-2.6 includes some "wisdom" of earlier times,
for example they include almost everything as a module since this kernel
is (still) used as the default install-from-cache kernel.

I'm not David, but AFAIK the new installer is pretty untested/undone
and so should maybe not go on release ISOs for a while still.
I'd like to finally see 0.9.4 out for one, so IMHO you should hack
what needs to be hacked in the current smgl.install, while the ng-test
ISOs can gradually be used to test the new installer, which will then
when it is stable move on into your scripts.

Just my opinions,
So Far,
