Many rootkits like to drop setuid root shells in there among the device 
files.  I have to exclude the entirety of /usr/share to get under 1.44MB.  
Anyone have a good example config for floppy tripwire?  I use bzip2 for 
compression, which helps somewhat, but I still have to cut out way too much.  
I really should get that remote tripwire system setup.
