I don't have the image. It's booted from a floppy (or by nfs, thanks to their
triple secure fallback). I gave it to them. They put it on a floppy. I don't
have the floppy. They don't know which floppy it is (the servers been up for a
while). The floppy's not in the drive. I may not be in the same
country. It may be midnight there. Next? Here's something for you to
look at.
