What do you mean 'tested the /srvd install'? I assume you just
selected 'Athena' and used the defaults, right?

I think we should give a longer time on CJ, or maybe snork, for people
to actually play with the install and make sure nothing is really missing
before we announce it.

Just 'make dist' from the top-level. Although I think I need to
rebuild the supp image one more timeto catch the changes Aaron made.

I've only tested it far enough to get my PCMCIA machine on the net
successfully. I've not actually performed a full install using these
disks.

PS: FWIW: I'd like to call this a 'public betatest' as well, to keep
the number of users relatively low, at least for the first couple of
weeks. I'm sure there will be snags.
PPS: Erik: The problem with sipb-nfs is Linux 2.2 related. We just
should not recommend using Linux 2.2 for now.
