   I added an overhead view of the updated Datsville, but I thing Geocities may be having trouble right now, as I can't look at what I did. (I also can't update lugnet yet.) If some helpful soul would like to work on mapping the .jpg for an image map, (...) (25 years ago, 11-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

          Re: Datsville overview —Matthew Miller
       Oh; wasn't paying attention. If you've actually got an unused partition, skip the dd stuff, and just mkswap it. (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
