Thanks for the news! This is exactly what the doctor ordered. I
have had mixed results with the eCS MT back in the eCS 1.0 days,
so I prefer just a clean install. I'm sure Steven L would tell
me that's an extreme remedy, but the majority of the updates
listed in the readme are USB anyhow, and this way I know that
they have all been tested together and play well together.

I looked at that, but the directory structure that the IBM
readme references is different than what is on my machine.
Evidently Serenity et al did not strictly stay with IBM's layout
- not that I care that much, just so long as it works.
