   running /sbin/e-smith/audittools/aliases will show more than the  
   expected list.  
 - Improve the quality of the mirrors by using a network mirror-list. The  
   list is automatically generated hourly based on the status of the  
   current mirrors. By using these mirror-lists it is ensured that people  
   are directed to an updated mirror. When a mirror is added or removed

   centralizes control of the mirror lists.

   packages. This stops accidental removal of core SME Server packages.  
 - Introduced (weak) kernel modules which are independent of kernel  
   version. This means there is no need to update/rebuild kmods for each  
   kernel update.  
 - Fix for VPN access failed with buffer too small errors.  
 - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.  
 - Reduce drive size requirements from 5G to 1.5G
