What might be cool is to generate a bootable iso image with the graphics
drivers preconfigured. This is safe to do since all sparcbooks are the same,
unlike an intel scenario. Someone (i can volunteer) can archive it on an
anonymous ftp server so that folks can get this up easily.

If Hugo is no longer maintaining the FAQ, and there is alot of new linux
or *bsd changes someone should also take it over, add this stuff and make
it available. 

Let's hope the pcmcia code gets done soon..
