Heh, I don't know yet what I will do with that computer, but I want to see
it booting something else than DOS :p

I'm going to compile my own kernel now. I think I'll make a -current
release tgz set and I'll unpack it later on the 520 mb disk. After that,
I will put my own compiled kernel (so no need to go through the sysinst
process)... I got a 1.5mb kernel for my firewall, so I hope this one to
be a bit smaller ;)

Any objections with this?

Thanks!
