Hi Lad,

While this might be good for a future rescue/utility type of ISO, this
application really doesn't have anything to do with getting SourceMage on to
a machine.  You may want to just put together a bootable floppy with the
utility or something in the meantime, but I can't see this becoming part of
our Install CD.
