Does sysinst get copied to an MS-DOS filesystem for use?

If not, there is little reason why it needs to have 8 or fewer characters
in its name, and I'd suggest install_system (perhaps with a second link of
install-system).  (If it *does* get copied to an MS-DOS filesystem, then
SETUP.EXE is a much more traditional name for such a thing, even if it doesn't
act like *shudder* InstallShield.)
