When I checked this morning, it was still doing 'make'. It might have
started 'make test' by now if I'd loaded all the disks onto the TOS
partition and found the dodgy last one before running them through tar
(fortunately I made two disk sets, just in case). Or if it didn't run out of
swap after a couple of hours. Or if it took me less than 10 hours to
remember the root password so I could add more swap.

Slow computers are fun, but I prefer my UltraSparc (which is 40 times faster
- that's still slow, though).
