1. build a distribution & sets, and your kernel
	./build.sh distribution sets kernel=3Dmykernel releasekernel=3Dmykernel
2. copy the sets & the kernel tar file from $RELEASEDIR/... to the system.
3. install the kernel.
4. reboot to single user.
5. extract the sets (except etc.tgz & xetc.tgz) over /
6. extract etc.tgz into a scratch directory & run
	./etc/postinstall -s `pwd` check
   if you're happy with the changes,
	./etc/postinstall -s `pwd` fix
7. reboot
