	*laugh*  OK, I deserve that!

	I'll take a look at it.  You and I think alike; I use those lines
for semi-dynamic configuration as well.  I'll ship you the early version
of a SysVinit script under separate cover; it's not quite as polished as
the mkrootfs.

	I assume that's on sourceforge?  I'll go get it and merge the two.

ftp://slartibartfast.pa.net/pub/mirrors/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-7.0
	ISO 1 is up there, iso 2 is being uploaded, rpms are getting there
as well.  All should be there by the end of the day.
	Where would you like me to send the root filesystem?  It's a bit
large to email. ;-)
	Cheers,
