[I assume we're talking about i386 here.  If so, this discussion is
 probably better suited to port-i386... ;-]

It's fairly trivial to add another boot image to the release process;
it's more a matter of how useful an extra image would be.  Since I've
seen a similar request made before, it seems like a few people would
benefit from a boot image that can be used to CD-ROM boot an
INSTALL_LAPTOP kernel, so I'll add one.

(BTW: bootlap-big.fs would contain INSTALL_LAPTOP not GENERIC_LAPTOP :)
