Re: [luau] Scrounging for parts

I once installed openBSD on a cd-less sun from my linux machine.  I was 
working on debian, but my ram seems to be too broken to do it (my sun 
sucks and is broken in many ways).  The install process is a bit of a 
pain, and takes a long time to master the approximately 6 different 
components you need to have running simultaneously on the server side, 
but it can be done, and you feel cool for doing it.  Here is some info 
regarding the process:
