Packages have been updated.  Some conflicted with each other; others
had system directories contained within (such as /bin).

Some packages from others ALSO have system directories in them - which
can compromise a machine at the worst, or mess up permissions.  If you
do a 'tar tzvf' on a package and it lists bin, usr/bin, etc, and so
forth, then this package will cause problems as the owner, group, and
permissions will be overwritten on these directories.

When you create a package, do NOT do this at the top root:

tar cvf - $(find *) | gzip -9 -c - > mypkg.lrp

...and do NOT do this:

tar cvf - $(find .) | gzip -9 -c - > mypkg.lrp

...and do NOT do this, though it is better:

tar cvf - $(find * -type f) | gzip -9 -c - > mypkg.lrp

DO THIS:

tar cvf - $(cat var/lib/lrpkg/mypkg.list) | gzip -9 -c - > mypkg.lrp

Also, the Oxygen Bootable CDROM has been updated, but the 'largenet'
configuration is still SegFaulting at the end.  Please help me find
out why.... It's very puzzling, as there is plenty of RAMdisk space
and other configurations work fine.

And anyway, things should *NOT* SegFault...
