Love the idea as stated. 'Nuff said.

	How about a "built in rule" like if no serial number file "DONT TRANSFER 
THE MODULE". That way if I'm updating say 5.2-RELEASE iso's or something, 
I just rm the serial number file for that module, update the stuff needing 
changes, then when done create the serialno file & the ites will get it on 
the next sync.

	I'm behind you 109% the other 1% I reserve because I'm busy... :)
