I suspect a potential problem. When I grabbed the image, I was using Systemimager-3.4, and now I'm using 3.2.3. the top of the master scrip says it was created by SystemImager v3.4.0. I did try to upgrade back to 3.4, and update my boot cd, but the client fails way before partitioning. At least where I am now, If I can hack past the parted stuff, I'll have a working client by tonight.
