Not that I know of.  I think I'd either have to create a custom "roll" 
containing only that one rpm (which I don't know how to do), or recreate the 
OS roll, which is functionally the same as recreating the SL iso.

In any case, thanks for looking at it.  I'd be interested in getting the 
updated isos as soon as possible.
