Kudos, Mr. Ellis. I followed your HOWTO yesterday on a
semi-production server and it was relatively painless. 'e2fsck'
disappeared which made for an interesting reboot, but I accept the blame
for that.
Everything else went fine. No horror stories. And now there are a few
zillion packages to choose from.
