We don't use dhcp, so we need to specify a nameserver in
/etc/resolv.conf.  I suppose the user could specify that during the
install, but I'd still like to have an RPM that changes it to the
correct value.

Installing Clearcase requires adding entries to /etc/fstab.  Also, we
have NFS mounts that are standard on some machines.
