#16 create PXE friendly outputs
Would like to be able to specifically just have the artifacts (kernel + initrd + *.cfg) to be able to drop on a PXE server for complete network installs.
In thinking about this, probably just a simple flag in linuxcoe.rc (to enable this), and just leaving the above artifacts unpacked in a sub-dir that the final html references (much like the ks.cfg/preseed/autoyast link does today) would be sufficient.
This is just basically a convenience option, because one can certainly do the necessary steps today to accomplish this.

Currently, defining a SIM directory in linuxcoe.rc forgoes the mkisofs/etc. and drops the PXE ready artifacts in a tarball which you can massage into place with a POST_TRIGGER script. While SIM brings a few interface oddities into play, like the 'serial number' field, I need a unique and user defined place to leave the remains.
I'm open to suggestions on how to implement. The code is already there for SIM, unsure how to refine it.

'unpacked in a sub-dir that the final html references'
OK, I get it now. :) Let me think on it. What forest? all I see is trees....
