    while I like the lrp distro, the issue of requiring
    a non-anon ftp server does pose a problem with a 486, 16mb.
    of course this depends on what is being ftp'd, but
    lrp ceases to be lrp (the way it was intended to run) when
    leaving hard drives hooked up and mounted.
    Just a thought. I am happy to be wrong about LRP and mounted
    hard drives :) I just have not done it that way yet.
