Brian,
your wish has been granted by k12osn. Eric's cd set installs
flawlessly, without fuss, and works like a charm. it uses rh 7.3 or 8
(still beta, but really good) and supports just about any workstation out
of the box. if it wasn't for k12os, i'd still be struggling with the
install instead of being almost a year into production systems. julius
