I can pull apart the ISO, create images/pxeboot, plop the vmlinuz & initrd.img file into place and create a new ISO, but it seems like it should already be there, no? The 64-bit "minimal" ISOs for CEL 6&7 from the same source have them in the right place... I'd like to just ditch all the i386 stuff, but we do have some legacy systems that were built as such.
