Ok, I got it all working, the supermin builds and guestfish

Thanks - I pushed it with some more argument quoting to make it safer.
It should still work OK, but please check I didn't break anything.

Thanks for your contribution.
The only problem I am having is in the febootstrap-supermin-helper,
in the
helper/kernel.c the kernel to link into the supermin appliance is
detected,but Arch uses a different kernel naming system. In Arch the kernel
is always named vmlinuz26 and the only way I have found so far to derive the
kernel version that the modules are stored under is to execute file on the
kernel and awk out the version (file /boot/vmlinuz26 | awk '{print $9}').
It's a shame that the LSB/FHS doesn't standardize these names, to stop
downstream packagers from making random changes like this.
In any case, please try the attached patch which is based on your
description but has not been tested.
Rich.
