I was trying to make an image that would work with all our systems, but have 
run into a problem.

At first I tried building everything, and that seemed to work, but we have a lab 
with most machines have 3com cards, but some have the on board 8139 
cards. The auto script fails with a udpc spript problem. You can press the esc 
key and go back, and it shows the 8139cp and the 8139too. It you select the 
8139too, and click on, it will go thru, and eventually work, but requires enters 
on everything. I don't think we have anything with 8139cp cards, so I went 
back and redid the build, but this time I unchecked the 8139cp. Redid the 
process and got the same results. It doesn't seem to have the 8139cp.ko file, 
but it still seems to try it. 

All the machines had 3com cards, but a couple have failed, so we switched 
those to use the onboard, which seems to be as good.
