We use a script, written by Wayde Schroeder at NeXT tech support,
which mounts the root directory from a machine with an 
"extended" os, then creates symlinks to the appropriate places
to make the the slab appear as if it had the extended release.
The script is called "NfsExtend", and I assume NeXT make
it available just for the asking.
