Ok, then why, after he's rsync'd from the mirror, and I try to PXEboot
install, does it fail, asserting (and I just ran it, so I could get the
exact wording): "Unable to read group information from repositories. This
is a problem with the generation of your install tree."?
I've compared the 6.0/os/x86_64 and 6.2/os/x86_64, and ownership,
permissions, and directories seem identical.
