Yep, had to fix up a whole bunch of symbolic links.  The number you come up
with is what it is without sources.  The number I have includes the source
tree (SRPMS) as well (moved of course so that the root of the CD is correct).
I stated above that I included the source tree.

I included the source tree so that I didn't have to cut two CDs.  Now to
see if it'll boot from it :-)
