I second what marc said.  I think that most of /usr/athema/bin should also be
local.  However, I understand that the DS3100's can not afford more software.
Is there a way around that for the maxine portion of the release ? 

Obviously there are hooks in the install to copy the correct kernel....can
that be expanded to do an additional track/synctree for additional binaries.

Besides making machine more useable/fixable/diagnosable when they are
disconected from the net, this will alos reduce the load on the AFS servers.
