The original sysinst code and INSTALL changes were done on a 1.3.2 
system, so I can believe it would be difficult to pull them up to any 
newer version.  However, last I heard (just prior to the 1.5 release) 
someone was reviewing the INSTALL changes - Michael ????.  Maybe they 
have something that's a bit more current?
