... I am mortally embarraed that the previous message went to a public
mailing list.  I would swear, on oath that I double-checked that I
hadn't cc:ed it to current-users, but only private mail to the
relevant principals. (it might just possibly be a stale NFS write,
I've had network flakage all day.)

My most abject apologies to everyone concerned.

I really, really dont want to start a flamewar -- just to diagnose
what went wrong with sysinst for 1.3.1.  Please sand any flames to me
(which are, clearly, highly deserved!)  in private.
