Fair enough. Could that bit be documented in the package.mask entry for the record, should anyone want to tackle trying to resurrect it, they'll know why it was masked and removed? > We would have to package an old xserver for -newport to be useful > (which is something I'd be interested to do with sufficient time). Long down on my TODO list is to figure out how to replace the RTC and resurrect the Indy. Wesolows gave it to me years ago, and it was pretty chipper for a 150MHz box. But the disk drive died and I never got around to replacing it.
