	One question is:
	should/can the soft update files be there somewhere..
	If possible they could be on the CD but in a different directory
	soemwhere. i.e. not in the 'correct' place.

Yes, it may be on the CD as long as it is not in the kern source
directory and is not compiled into the distributed kernel (if there
even is such a thing). There can be a README in the kernel area 
that points to the soft update sources and explains how to use them
and the restrictions on their use. The reason to place the files
outside the kernel area is to avoid contaminating that source pool
(i.e., someone accidentally grabbing it unaware of what they were
doing).
