I'd love to, but I'm not really certian how to start. For example, I havn't
gotten anything other then DOS to boot yet.
I'll try to start after I finish some more testing with these newest mods.
The time before death seems to have gone way down. Fortunately, this is
because it gets to where it has died before more swiftly, and not because it
dies earlyer. <G>
(BTW, quick rundown of deaths:

finished "Uncompressing Linux...":

Hmm. the debian bootfloppy is now giving the same result as booting from my
hard drive -- this is a regression! I'm going to do some checking here,
will let you know if I dig up anything interesting.
