The predecessory article was amasing in many ways.

	Let me just say that we were able to boot BSDI 1.0 on a 486
with no pain at all in about 10 minutes from the floppies and CD-ROM
and got the whole thing installed and working on our system (including
the time to copy the CD-ROM contents onto our hard drive) in under an
hour.
