Hang back if you can; I have a slightly improved version (0.7) with
rearrangements so that
a) you only need 3 binary CDs (less disc swapping during install)
b) the non-US step is now entirely optional.
c) the main source is now split more sensibly down the middle onto two CDs
d) it's more generic and more easily configurable
I'll put it up tonight or mail it to you now if you like...

Thanks for the suggestion. It would work for me, but I'm firewalled off
and I don't get rsync access...

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
