Otherwise, it's probably too light. ;-)

I know some folks that would pull all but one CPU/mem board out to do
builds and configurations because it was much faster to boot. Now that
they're as old as they are (and not under support), I don't recommend
unplugging the boards without a good reason.

Well I got it to start handling all of that a lot better now. There
was a networking conflict that was fouling up things for me a bit, and
I didn't have the fiber run to the disks in back, either. It still
takes quite awhile, but not the eons that it was taking before.

Installation is going great. I'd probably be done by now but my boss
walked by where I've got this sucker strung up in a hazardous
temporary fashion and tripped on the power cord thus unplugging the
machine about 50% of the way through.

Multiple times through the process is a great way to get to know a
system.

Thanks for helping me get this sucker running!
