I don't know what to say!

In tracing my history...

I've found that the system files of the machine I thought about installing Dragonfly on, dates back to 2001. One of my backup lilo.conf files is dated Dec.31.2001! I may find even older files than that (I have!). This system root may have been the first time I installed Slackware on any of my computers. I don't know, but that's quite a long history/legacy to abandon. I've been transferring the software for that system from one set of disks to another throughout all that time. So the continuity of that system has remained intact all along. I think I will wait until I get more new disks before doing the Dragonfly install.

History is History!
And it stands to my legacy as a Slackware user.
