Unfortunately I'm using mixed hardware in this project.  There's been
a bunch of guesswork, burning, testing, correcting, guesswork,
burning... etc going on in getting this to work.  Building this
kickstart file has been a serious pain in the rear, but should be
worth it when it's finished.

Now that's something I'll have to remember.  System Imager is looking
awfully handy.

Thanks Lennart
