Except that the "fcopy" script resides in /usr/sbin (both locally and in
nfsroot), the patch appears to work. And I think that's the proper way...

Thomas, can you put this patch on your list for upcoming versions?
(it might even pass Vorlon's review... thinking about it a bit longer,
this *may* be a critical bug (since it forces the installer to remove
some access limitations to make files accessible at all), feel free to
change the bug level...)

Cheers,
 Steffen
