yep, it's stable after this, at least at 8 bit.  32 crashed, though it 
took a while.  But it's slow as molasses . . . I know staroffice is a 
pig, but it's even slower than my diamond 2500 (speaking of screwball 
cards . . .).  And at 32, I actully saw new xterm windows growing to 
size vertically . . .

hmm, have to look at this

I've been meaning to do this on my own machine, hoping to deal with 
apmsync() crashes from rvplayer.  I've downloaded the binaries already. 
Is it really just a matter of unzipping the tarball, or do I 
need to put things in their debian places?
