Since I didn't want For 2.0R and the last snapshot, sysinstall should be regarded as a one-shot deal. Please do not attempt to use it again. We've said it quite a few times in public, but apparently the information ages fast and we're going to need to put it in a FAQ or something (e.g. this is not your fault and I'm not flaming you). To install an additional *dist after your 2.x system is already up, just run the extract.sh script by hand (sh ./extract.sh). It will do the rest. In 2.1, it will be possible to reenter the system installation utility again to do system updates and the like. Jordan
