Our new release of Stork uses BitTorrent (along with supporting CoBlitz and
Coral), so we shouldn't have the same problems with load.   We will happily
solve problem #2 for you (by providing a smarter option to yum) if PLC can
spare someone to repair the initscript functionality so that Stork works
again.

The previous webpage allowed users to select our initscript from a small
list of choices.   Now a text box appears where it seems they would type
their own script(?).   Ideally, we'd like users to be able to select
something from a small menu (or check a box) to choose Stork.

Thanks,
Justin
