I repeated the install from sipb-nfs, intending to get the exact error
message so that I could make a more specific search for the discrepancy
between the trees (my tree-wide diff was taking forever.)  This time,
the install just worked.  So either the permissions changes that Sam
affected did the trick (a bunch of files on the sipb-nfs version were
unreadable,) or someone else did something.  I'm going to hope it's the
former, and release an announcement.  Here it is.  I'll send it to
linux-announce when a-w finishes installing and someone with the
relevant social bits OK's the text (or when if I get impatient <wink>.)

SIPB Athena-Linux is finally beta'ing!  Get the install instructions
from /afs/sipb/project/doc/ilinux/linux-net-install/rh-net-install.dvi

Alex.
