By default, if you don't specify a volume name, the script creates it 
as "home2"... it sets up a directory structure similar to what /home 
has - a /sites subdir, with other site info under that, etc.  It's 
been a while since I did it myself, so I don't remember the details.  
I've got some old drives kicking around; perhaps I'll try to add one 
to my own RaQ 4 on Monday and post the results...
