Thanks, Karl. 
I've been using a hacked bit of LILO code, one of my mom's wooden
cooking spoons, 3 rubber bands, a portrait of my one of our cats done by
my granddaughter in green crayon, 14 feet of fishing line, a bit of
chewing gum and the stub of an old HB pencil to get my machine booted up
till now. 
But those days are over, thank God, now that you've release Grub to us.
