Okay, will do.

I can try.  It's not a complex process to create the image, just do the 
normal installation while running in a virtual machine.  I don't know 
that I'm really the right person for the job, but assuming FC is 
reasonable about installing the dependencies I should be fine.  Probably 
be a week or more before I can clear time to work on the recreation 
though (engagement dinner this weekend and paying work calling).  If 
someone with FC experience wants to build an image in the meantime I 
won't be offended :) .

Have fun,
Mike
