Hi all,
  I have been at this now for a couple of weeks, and think I have figured a 
bunch of it.  Like it says in the subject, has anyone but me ever needed to know 
what the dist.fs install program did?  I know that the automated version makes
the installation very nice and all, but I have been at points lately where if
I had a 'shell script' version of this program, I may have saved myself MANY
hours.  Has anyone got such a beast laying around loose?  If so, could it be
placed on ref.tfs.com or agate.berkeley.edu please?  If for no other reason, it
might help to be able to follow along without having to take a program's word 
for the success or failure of one or more steps.
