This would have actually been trivial to do if I had written the distribution handling code in sysinstall with anything even remotely approximating good engineering techniques, but it's no use crying over spilled milk. :-) It will be handled much more nicely with revision II of all this stuff (and yes I hope to release it in skeletal form fairly soon, at least enough to install a bindist and show off the new design).
