We REALLY need a FAQ.  Any volunteers?  I got too many other things to
do, though the amount of posts I have made about this could have been
better spent creating a FAQ....


Try out the new bootables, located on agate (unfortunately, Paul hasn't
updated unofficial on gatekeeper, it appears.. sigh)

agate.berkeley.edu:pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/patch-kit/*.fs.pk-0.2

They work on a lot more machines than the stock versions.
