- Should we be reading between the lines here that you are suggesting that Sun
- employees might know that you can boot a classic with 4.1.2 or 4.1.3?
- If there is anyone out there who has a classic, you could do everyone a big
- favor by trying to boot with 4.1.2 and with 4.1.3 and give the rest of us a
- report.

- Whenever I want to get totally confused/lost I can login to my i386 SVR4
- box. Makes me want to get back to SunOS 4.1.x real fast!
