Great, thanks for doing this.  I just talked to Tatsumi-san yesterday
about this work and would be very happy to see it go in if you'd care
to do the honors, given that you've already patched it into shape.

JFYI, during our conversation, we identified the following areas in
which we'd like to work together in enhancing sysinstall:

1. Put pccardd on the mfsroot floppy and add a few things to
   sysinstall (this may already be done by his patches, I haven't
   had time to check) which enable its use during installation.

2. Bring in message catalog and BIG5 support so that the standard
   installer supports English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese by
   default.

3. Figure out why I couldn't get the isc-dhcp client to work
   before 3.2's release (causing me to abandon the idea of adding
   this feature for 3.2) and get DHCP support into 3.3.

I look forward to working with Tatsumi-san on these features;
they're all long overdue! :)
