I'm not absolutely sure, but...
    a) after the boot from DVD completes, there is no /mfs directory
       and openmosix is broken.
    b) if I do
            # mkdir /mfs
            # /etc/init.d/openmosix restart
       then everything appears to be OK.

But you're right, /mfs must be disappearing before that point, or it 
would go away again during the execution of the init.d script, and the 
mkdir would have no effect.

Grumble.  That means the ISO I just now burned is probably NOT going to 
fix the problem.  Well, I'll test it anyway (want to make sure the 
upgrades and installs I did work OK), and then try a different fix for 
the missing /mfs directory.
