...just curious, but if we are looking at this as being the 'lesser of 2 evils' wrt
to the content of the book itself, is there any actual need to have nasm around
during the *book* build of of extlinux?...ie; in that build we just do the basic 
model, and, if user decides, later on as part of BCLFS proceedings they can
revisit extlinux, recompile/reinstall with all the extra goodies, as part of a BCLFS
wiki entry?...that would avoid both evils and still give us what we want?...

...just a notion...

Jim -- thanks for the link, I'd missed that one

Cheers!
