[syslinux] using menu's to boot kernels

I've now been able to test the simple.com in dosemu, worked fine.  We 
provide a CD that has multiple kickstart configurations on it and users 
are prompted as to what type of server they want to build based upon the 
isolinux.cfg selections.  My goal is to use Murlai's menuing system 
instead because the large number of configs is taking too much screen real 
estate.

Looking at simple.c I see entries like:

  add_item("Linux Rescue","linresc",OPT_RUN,"linresc",0);

So I suppose I need to add an item to the menu that specifies a kernel and 
it's appendeable options (like isolinux.cfg).. How do I accomplish this?


I know it's probably a simple answer as but...
