Actually, I was thinking about renaming that guy anyway, ever since he
became essentially nothing more than a very small distribution, like
bin or doc. ;-)

In fact, the more I really think about it, the more I get the feeling
that we can actually just make that entire floppy _go away_. :-)

The fixit floppy, on the other hand, could probably stand to be
improved a fair bit - made more generally useful.  I also need to make
that whole "fixit CDROM" idea work. :-)
