	Well, like I said, there's so much to do.  I want to reformat 
into a more useful partitioning scheme, rather than the single partition 
for Linux I have now (well, I was younger and more easily confused then. =P )

	I want to upgrade the libraries and gcc.  I want to blow away 
some programs I don't really want anymore.  The repartitioning is the 
main reason why I might as well just chuck the old stuff, with the 
lib/gcc upgrade as 2nd most important reason.  Unless my laziness counts 
as the biggest reason.

	Did you upgrade from 1.3.x or 1.2.x to 2.0.x?
