Well I didn't quite get it all done last night, but almost.  If not tonight, I
should definitely have a working iso (for the new iso version) done this weekend.

I also just started using 2.6.0 with devfs back on as it takes care of a lot
of the hacks I had to do in the installer... and makes the system more like
the lunar we already know and love. :)
