Now that I've thought about this for more than 2 seconds; This is workable, but may require a new distribution. Currently, the "krb" distribution overwtites some things in the "bin" distribution. If those things that are (or may be) overwritten are put into a separate distribution called (say) "nokrb", and that is installed by default if "bin" is selected but no "krb", that will work. Sysinstall would have to be the "brains" behind this. Sysinstall could then be used to "dekerberise" the system.
