Well, the supported way of updating the OS files for the clients is
to use the tools I mentioned. setup_install_server won't touch
anything outside the directory it copies the OS files to. As for
{add|rm}_install_client - they will modify other files (/tftpboot,
bootparams, etc.); if you don't trust in what they do (I would),
either test on a non-production machine or look at their source.
