'Twas the honest, loyal, trustworthy and under-appreciated Yale CS
computing facility that inflicted that upon the local community.
Seems the powers that be wanted 32MB of swap, 30MB of home
directories, plus / and /usr, all on a 105MB internal drive on a SS-1.
Well, it wasn't meant to be, and we had to play symlink games in /usr
to get "most" things to fit and have the rest symlinked to a server
directory.
