    Don't worry about it, I'm going start working on the installer
    for the release tomorrow.  I'll be sure to fix the paths.
I've got the lua-based installer ported.  I need a final pass over it 
and then it will go into bsdinstaller cvs and I will create a binary 
package.

I don't think a separate binary package is the right long term answer.  
Tonight
when I get back from the other things in my life, I will resynch the
dragonflybsd tree and work on merging simon's unoffical patch and the rest of
bsdinstaller's head into something under contrib.  The current merge patch is
located here:

Please note that I still don't know how to fix the problem I've 
encountered with
passwords greater than nine characters long.  The installer says they don't
match when I know full well they do (1234567890 can't be mistyped twice six
times in a row).  Don't know if this is something we need to fix before 
RELEASE
or not.  I can't guarantee how far I will get, but my main goal is to have
something along the lines of `make iso-image` on the current source 
tree that I
could then use to install onto this new machine.  Then again if all this gets
done before I get back, that would be wonderful too :-D

Thanks,

Adrian
