Okay, I'll have a look at both ideas: - fixing up distro-query to not use SIS data before it is available - checking the /tftpboot/rpm pool's distro and eventually copying it over to the right name (or linking that in or something). Need to check a few things (whether the md5sum stuff will work the same way, for example).
