Except that the "fcopy" script resides in /usr/sbin (both locally and in nfsroot), the patch appears to work. And I think that's the proper way... Thomas, can you put this patch on your list for upcoming versions? (it might even pass Vorlon's review... thinking about it a bit longer, this *may* be a critical bug (since it forces the installer to remove some access limitations to make files accessible at all), feel free to change the bug level...)
