Further testing of the major xs-config revamp coming for xs-0.4 *the
install notes have changed a bit...*

 - The install should be similar to 165 and earlier builds. Do
complete the install steps (domain_config, ejabberd...)

 - It can install on small disks (5.5GB minumum) so fire up your qemu
(but note that the install is _very_ slow under qemu).

 - FIXED: Right after the initial boot, named and dhcpd do _not_ come up, do

 - Right after the install, the OS updates rsync server won't work
because subdirs of /library/xs-rsync that should be owned by xs-rsync
are not. This us due to a nasty bug in the livecd installer script
that ships with Anaconda - see http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8077 for
the reasons why.

   Two possible workarounds:
    Reinstall the package
      yum remove xs-rsync; yum install xs-pkgs
    Fix the ownership
      chown -R xs-rsync.xs-rsync /library/xs-rsync/{pub,tmp,state}

I'm off to sleep now -- this anaconda bug has been a time sink -

cheers,
