That bodes well... :-)

I got to the point of starting the install, on the DS10 with a PCI
Radeon 7500 using the GUI, and everything looked very good (and very
familiar :-), but CD#4 image is at work and I'm at home, so I'll
continue from there...

The first batch of machines I'll try it on will prolly be:

	DS20
	LX164
	MIATA

as these are among the most common out there. Moving on, I'll try:

	XP1000
	PC164
	AS1200/AS4100

Anyone have suggestions for additional boxes, or order change?

Can you tell me a bit about the kernel: will it work on the
TITAN-based boxes (non-LEGACY_ADDRESS boxen), or is it built to
support MILO-based machines, like XL/XLT (ie LEGACY_ADDRESS boxen)?
Is the SRPM available for download somewhere?

That's enough for now; I'll report status as I can...
