The name should be `catpages'.  Each subdir should have a .INF file as
well, or else sysinstall won't know how to deal with the files there.

When you go to install these, run /stand/sysinstall, then select
`Configure' and install the distributions from there instead of the main
menu.  This way it won't disturb your existing installation.
