Moved/copied it, works.  Whether it actually works in level1,  I don't 
know.  While I do have level 1 machines, they aren't set up to test with 
ATM.

The reboot I looked at is a level2 only command ANAICT.  So I moved it to 
the end of the list in te makefile where the failure at least lets the rest 
of it build.

Not no permission, but file exists because that copy has already been done.

I am getting recursion at some point in the build, but haven't located the 
src of that yet.  Example:
os9 copy

Hundreds of those in fact, but I haven't detected what this wwwroot is yet.

Clue?
