I figured I would post this here for all of you buying those Yukon Outfitters hammocks and rainflys. I thought it would be nice to show the coverage and how I suspended it for the noobies.
I have the double hammock and the standard rainfly both purchased from woot.com.
The hammmock is suspended with lashing straps (I camp off my motorcycle so weight is no concern for me) and descending rings.
I used this image and some mini-binders/lash-it that I bought from Dutch to suspend the rainfly. I cut off a 1' section of the 25' of lash-it that I bought to make a prusik loop.

Here is the whole setup:
And the coverage on both ends (pretty impressive over a double!):
And here's how the rainly is rigged. One continuous ridgeline running under the fly and a prusik on one end to adjust the tension:
