So the old instructions were:

> > >      rpm -ivh /sipb-nfs/redhat/4.2/i386/RedHat/sets/Athena/*

Should we just change that last line to:

> > >      rpm -ivh /mit/linux/packages/*

? Will that install all the Redhat packages available, or just add the
Athena ones?  I don't want the user to do the above command if it will just
install every available package.

--pat
