	funny.....i have done just that...called Wolfram Research
	for support running Mathematica for Linux using FreeBSD.
	they were very courteous and helped my redo the installation
	script to accomdate the "brandelf -t Linux" command.

	basically, move the install binaries to disk, brand them
	and run them ;)
