Yeah, I think you're right, but it'd still be prudent to test it in a
separate NFS-served directory before actually putting it on the
server-proper, imo.

I had to build kudzu in order to get a seperate version of the
second-stage installer that I could test from the command line. It was
a relatively simple matter. Is it possible that we could just drop that
in, or are these horrid module dependancies likely to bite us, in that
case, too?
