I've just tagged SystemImager 3.7.2.  I've also uploaded the source
tarball to SF.

It seems to work in my initial tests, although it needs the following
work:
1) hotplug startup is slow.  need to figure out why and speed it up.
2) need to identify more modules that are not necessary for a typical
 install, and add those to the etc/UYOK.modules_to_exclude file.
3) there is most definitely a grub problem.  dannf, any chance you can
 take a peek at that?  I see it when doing an auto-install of an ubuntu
 client using grub to boot.  I expect it happens in other cases too,
 but that should be an easily re-creatable one.  Oh yeah, this is using
 the UYOK boot package from that client too (don't know if that
 matters.)
4) need to remove discover and discover-data bits, and all references to
 them.  this functionality now provided by udev + hotplug
5) consider using modprobe instead of insmod for re-loading modules

I'd be particularly interested in help with bits 1, 2, and 3.

Also, it looks like David Lombard's disk independence patches are already
in the code.  Wahoo!  I need to take a closer look and see if any
further integration needs to be done.

Notice that when you do an "si_mkautoinstallcd" that it now allows you
to choose a UYOK boot package based on the kernel/initrd.img from the
image you just pulled. ;-)

Cheers, -Brian
