*This is really phenominal work, Martin!*

There are some applications, being served for free, from UNIXPackages.COM

download/install the packages (to safe space)?

Thanks - Dave H
P.S. Can it be WAN Booted over the internet from OpenBoot? ;-) Perhaps, we
need to get some regional vollunteers to host a WAN Boot archive? (How
about me?)
