Hmmmmmm!!! I think this is some evil with Poul's all-singing, all dancing magic extract.sh that has never actually worked. I voted for making it know how to extract ONE kind of distribution in the beginning, was overruled, and now it looks like I'm about to have my way after all as this is simply not acceptable. I'll look into it. Looks like I'll be rolling another snapshot soon after all, since a lot of changes have hit the tree recently. Sigh.. Jordan
