This is the Mastodon
installer loadandgo (curses interface, and using
BSD curses to
squeeze itself down to the point where a kernel, lkms, and the
installer can fit onto a 1.44mb floppy disk), admintool,
the X configurator, the rc.d subsystems, a collection of utilities
that I wrote myself, and a few other useful utilities from various
sources.

put the Mastodon version number into revision control.)
