Hi again,

I made a new tarball, where I added the kernels and made it boot to the
grub menu. This new system works well, when installed by ToriOS live
(but not by 'my OBI'). It is uploaded to phillw.net, and can be
downloaded and selected in ToriOS live. The link should be one line,

$ ls -l ToriOS_3-kernels_01_use-by-ToriOS-live.tar.xz

ToriOS_3-kernels_01_use-by-ToriOS-live.tar.xz


I have also changed 'dltbl', so that it will not confuse end users. It
should come with the next version of the ToriOS live system (the iso
file). As it is now, an error output after a failed attempt to move the
tarball should be interpreted like this:

"Could not write to /tarballs, which is normal in a live session.
'Select tarball' can still find the tarball automatically."
