This kind of thing is annoying, but not unexpected. As of Sorcery 0.8 and
GCC 3.2 we have drastically moved away from the layout of the original
sourcerer, yet our ISO and Installer are currently built on the old
assumptions.

Obviously we will have this sorted out for 1.0, but until then, it is likely
/more/ things will break. Not less.

Yes it's a pain. No, it's not permenant.

Speaking of which, several people have said they would start on the ISO,
including M.L. and Adam (to an extent) - is there a status report on that?
