being forced to use a kernel provided on the arch install cds is a bit annoying... people using older cds may not feel the need to dl the latest version so the available kernels would be out of date..

providing _atleast_ lynx or links on the cd would allow knowledgeable people to replaced the kernel /src directory with a newer kernel manually during the `compile from source' process.

it would be handy to include lynx/links and if possible add another menu item with `manually dl / compile kernel' so that people can install up to date versions rather than having to install the default kernel and then compile again after the install..
this option would probably just prompt the user to go to another terminal and use lynx/links to dl a new kernel and untar it to /src.. etc.. essentially the same as the current `source compilation' process but with different prompts.
