Is there an easy way to use syslinux and use the normal kernel upgrades without having to edit files each time? Also the normal kubuntu kernel packages seem to come with symbolic links not supported by fat filesystem. Does anyone know an easy way around that? maybe using an overlay filesystem? I couldn't find what I was looking for on google. I would like to use syslinux over extlinux because it is easier to reset the syslinux partition back to the boot partition inside of windows on a reinstall of windows. And because I can edit the boot order from either windows or linux.

It's possible that dpkg has the ability to run a "hook" after a kernel update, otherwise, there is always the possibility of running a script from cron.> Also the normal kubuntu kernel packages seem to come with symbolic > links not supported by fat filesystem.
