You're right. I'll change it.

BTW: the set of scripts I mentioned lacks some diffs, which I handcrafted
on my machine and then forgot about them :-). It's possible to make a
floppy without them, but there will be some errors due to missing
libs (I cut out some of the functionality from login(1) and passwd(1) to 
save space). I'll upload these diffs ASAP, together with the README, to:

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/picoBSD

And thanks, Jordan, for arranging this so quick.

This also reminds me of something: I think it would be cute to incorporate
the splashscreen stuff into this - I expect it to be not more than few kB,
and it would look nice on a demo/giveaway diskette... :-)
