Here's a thought: build one without the extra stuff, and clone it to the
four different configurations. Then hand-add the extras to each of the
four. Once you've done that, you can clone them very easily: the way we do
it here is to install a minimal system via PXEboot, then rsync /boot and /
to /boot/new and /new, and rotate from there (zsh, w/ zmodload, does what
bash won't, btw).
