Thing is, we're starting a seperate distribution, right?  At least I
thought we where.  If we cp -a the next ver of RH over our work, what's
the point of trying to package up a seperate dist?  RH will make decisions
we won't agree with, because RH has different end-goals than we do.  We
should only lightly deal with RH5 because it's easiest to build from, but
we won't use all of it.  Once we have a working installer, we can go
through redhat's stuff and see what we think should be in the SEUL
distribution.  I REALLY gotta go to bed, my typing is really going
downhill...  TTYL!
