if the tar file uses absolute paths, how do they untar to the wrong
directories?

We did this one via our own script becuase it was taking about 20 min
to do each wp remotely. That would have taken us 6 hours total to do
every station. It took about an hour to read the install_wp script in
the QF, create my own, test it, and then run it on every station. So
we saved 5 hrs. Now I just need to restart all the FoxViews, but I
have a script for that too howvere that takes a bit more coordination
w/ each control room ;)
