Oops, maybe I should clarify that.  Maybe "having reviewed all licensing
issues and having consulted with DEC..."? 

Anyway, I did wish to make a point that all the installation stuff is
optimized for an initial installation by a relatively innocent system
administrator.   I really wish there was some documented provision for
a more experience administrator to build a system "on-line" to a fresh
system pack, without having to wing it step-by-step.  Downtime is downtime,
and there's enough pain in an install/upgrade without having to sit there
for hours in half-dead single user mode.
