[X4U] Tiger System Files appear that should be hidden

[Spoolman Nancy]

Thanks for the info. From what I could find by reading the article,  
it works for the image you have ready to use when Netbooting, but  
doesn't explain how to get it to hide those visible files when the  
computers are already cloned. I'll send this on to the other Tech so  
he can "FIX" the image.

Thanks again! If you have any other command-line steps, please let me  
know. I have a computer I can test it on.
