Actually, we should be able to avoid the whole mmrecov / etc. mess since 
we'll have the tape of all our indexes and such under /nsr. We've done 
this many times in the past (install packages and replace /nsr from our 
tape).

Not that we have any time RSN to do this, but I'm just trying to avoid 
issues. Sounds like I might want to call 1-800-PowerLink when we're ready. 
:-)

Thanks for the feedback.
