WWDC Debrief

Do we need to make universal binaries for our unix tools?
Jeremy will try it with the unix tools, and document it.

Question for next time:
Jim suggested creating a self-destructing loginhook/startupitem
that runs only the first time a machine is booted after installation
that automatically does a softwareupdate in the background... thoughts?

Action items for next week:
Dave P: fix webpage
Dave P: netboot image
Jeremy: have some unix packages compiled in universal form
Todd: explore SP2 availability
Todd - test logGen
Dave G: package KeyClient
