Yes, you are right...  DON'T try to cleanly install pre-0.90.  Last time
I tried (about a month ago), I couldn't get X running (as I remember
it).  Even so, some of you will try.  Here's a hint: for the installer
(use the newest one at /incoming/rootdisks on the FTP server), a file
called dir.nfo has to be present in each folder that you want to
install...  pre-0.90 hasn't have these files, but 0.89 did, so I simply
copied them and created some.  I also created a custom package.dirs
because I copied some directories to the pre-0.90 tree.  What I'm doing
now is simply hand-installing some of the SLP's....

What's the best way to get pre-0.90 up and running?  Should I start
with a 0.89 box? or install stuff from scratch?  Last I looked the .90
tree was not complete so obviously some .89 packages would have to be
used, but with the changes to things like the initscripts, I thot there
could be problems upgrading a .89 box.  Anybody know?
