I have a netboot setup in my shop that allows me to choose what I want
to install from. What I _don't_ have setup is a netbooter that will let
choose an installer to use. I have to manually edit the dhcp.conf file
and restart dhcpd.

I have run into python issues on dual opteron systems as of lately on
some FC3 systems. All of a sudden, python is whining about stuff
missing. Something changed a path/environment setting.
