..thanks for the remainder, I had a feeling I had forgotten something
of importance updating a wee spare ascii disk install to chimaera.

..lost a coupla days worth of emails and command line history in my 1GB
stopped dead disk, after getting distracted from backup-ing blue smoking
the red and blue wiring off my other Precision M4400, crisy clear green
monochrome at 1920x1200@60Hz didn't leave enough video memory for any X
on any plug-in screen, all the while while the consoles were annoyingly
consoling. ;oD
