Hi Stephen, (and all who answered, thanks!)

So if I want to update an existing image by adding a RPM, what should I do if I want to get it in SIS: update the rpmlist file and run the SIS command updateclient (section 2.8.3 in user's guide)? I understand that I can do it with C3 but that has a drawbak I think: if I add a client to the same image later, it won't include the changes I have done with C3, or will it? And coming back to a question I had before deciding to install oscar at all: how do I install, if it is possible, a tar file in SIS. Stephen's answer had suggested that you can also use SIS for non RPM stuff, or did I misunderstand it? I know it is possible with c3, but I'd prefer SIS for the reason mentioned above.
