Ah, google groups, the only reliable way to download more than a megabyte of data to render 1kb of text.
Somewhere, I still have a copy of this message, from when it appeared in my newsreader. It would be an interesting exercise in archaeology to see if modern linux has the tools to mount that old filesystem... guess the rest of today's productivity will have to take a back seat.

I don't have a filesystem from back then to actually try it, though. [1] http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/minix/ http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/minix/
