As a note. 2.1 was CD installable. I suppose I didn't try it on
other than sun4c architecture, but it worked well on the ones I tried.
I suppose my other caveat is the CDs I tried were the initial release,
so I don't know if the CDs for the later releases worked as well. I
would hope they did, but who knows.
