Hi Ira,

Sort of. I don't think it's ideal, but it's nice to be able to group together 
disk images, rcS files, and the amount of dram needed. Missing here is kernels 
and other stuff, so it's a half solution. I think we do want to have something 
like this autogenertade from a list of directories each one containing a 
configuration file that describes the benchmark (compatible kernels, disk 
images, scripts, systems, minimum ram, sampling information, how to product a 
"score" etc). You can specify all the things on the command line now, so that 
might be the easiest way to go. If you feel like implemented a better way to do 
this that would be great too.

Thanks,
Ali
