Manuel Bouyer requeste killing PPP instead; I found that PPP is already
commented out except for the pseudo devs. (200 bytes, ooh ahh :/ ) darn.
So I am still removing options NFS to get my i386 install floppies to finish
building.
There _would_ be just enough space if we could create an FFS with only 3
inodes on it instead of the minimum of 32... ideas people?
I'd prefer to avoid creating yet another "libhack" routine that can drift
behind the real libc code, and cause linker errors when things get out of
sync. That just happened with opendir.c, and macppc's crunched binary
wouldn't link until I fixed it by adjusting the libhack version.
