I agree.  I don't think normal geronimo startup should involve  
copying stuff from one location to another to set up a new server  
location.  We could build some kind of admin server to manage setting  
up/removing server "clones" but I don't think it should be part of  
the base server normal startup path.  If I've misunderstood what you  
are proposing please complain :-)

thanks
