Oh yay! I thought I was the only one who would actually want this feature!
Excellent news that it more it more less Just Works. At least there's a
reasonably good chance that once I ditch RHEL5 I should be able to just
install $DISTRO_OF_CHOICE without too many problems. Stand by for more
questions to the list once I take delivery ;)

Thanks, you guys rock.

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of
madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the
aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and
aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and
vagaries of the crowd.
