	You should do a full build with airsnort in the
meta/bbc-contents/bbc-contents file.  You don't ever need to manually
"copy tarballs" anywhere.  GAR will automatically fetch source code.

	If you're trying to modify a pre-built ISO, my recommendation
is: don't.  You have to unpack the singularity, modify, then re-pack
and re-build the ISO with all the magic El Torito gargargar and so on.
It's such a royal pain in the arse that we automated so that we
wouldn't ever ever have to do it ever again.

	But as I said, once I get the STABLE tree back into a
functioning state, I'm going to build a downloadable package for it.
That way all 2.1 users should have the ability to get it with the
list-packages command.
