Truncating the geometry for the win! super cool to see a bare metal install.

I wonder if you could create a slice in the rest of the disk and change the boot loader and partition geometry so use the rest of the drive? Perhaps you're not too interested long-term usage. Pretty cute. I wish DELL had continued trying to sell UNIX workstations. Hilariously, I have this book and the rest of the set in dead-tree format.

That is most wonderful! Have you got any recommendation on any other "old book on X11/other Unix GUIs, for the purposes of configuration"? I learned of this book only now, and your advice is most welcome…
