[lubuntu-users] Editing Yaboot.conf with Fortran + punch cards

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Peter:

OK, very amusing; what I meant was that I don't think I had to add any boot
parameters in my Yaboot.conf file in my PowerMac, and I think no xorg.conf
file . . . .  I have several installs on several computers, so hard to keep
it all straight in my aging mind.

Touche' . . . et tu Peter?  Too much time on your hands?
