Sounds very reasonable to me.  It would be really nice if I could get
some help making RH-A 4.2.  In particular, I'd really like to have a
choice for local install vs. SRVD install... And make the SRVD
available for general use.  Someone should look at what Greg did
for NetBSD.

Also, I should probably grab the 4.2 installation disks and merge the
RH-A changes into them.
