This doesn't seem to create the distribution sets I want. It just 
creates the hierarchy of files which are eventually going to be on the 
hard-disk on the clients. I may be wrong, but it seems that to be able 
to use sysinstall to install the clients, I need to create distribution 
sets like the ones supplied here:
