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).

Regards,
Erich
