We should figure out what's causing the install to fail to store the
hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network.  (It would be nice to deal with
/etc/athena/rc.conf, but it's not terribly important.
/etc/sysconfig/network is terribly important.)

	* Root's dotfiles don't put /sbin or /usr/sbin in PATH.

Fixed.  (I removed "rootfiles" from the comps file, because the stuff
in rootfiles was overwriting the stuff in athena-rootfiles.)

	Oh, and nygren points out we need to replace /etc/aliases with a
	properly "@localhost"ified version.

I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I've gotten the impression
that it's being dealt with...  Is it?

Have a nice day,
Sal.
