[Claude Heiland-Allen <claudiusmaximus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some minor changes to broth.sh and I built a binary.iso with the Ubuntu
stock linux-rt kernel, testing is still in progress but:

1. boots fine in virtualbox
2. boots fine from liveusb made with bouilloncube
3. liveusb persistence works too

On the down (?) side, the linux-rt metapackage pulls in the linux-
headers, which take some space, but they're kinda crucial for compiling
drivers...

Status in Puredyne liveCD/DVD/USB/HD: Confirmed

Bug description:
I tried a number of things on a fresh liveUSB (2010-01-11 evening iso)

1. jockey-gtk - showed no drivers available

2. downloaded installer from nvidia.com, followed instructions
2.a. the kernel header package i installed was full of broken links and not much else (include/linux/kernel.h -> nowhere useful)
2.b. the kernel source package i installed and manually unpacked was not configured (include/linux/version.h missing)
