- that's funny. everyone seems to bitch about the long disk sequence they
- go through using selective install. All I have to do is run dspinstl and
- use disks 13 and 14 of the SP. I've done this really often (I've been
- flirting with 1024 but sticking with 800 on my diamond speedstar) and I
- can't figure out what everyone is talking about.

- am I missing something???
