I'm using 1.5.2 right now and would like this patch. I have the
PLIP cable and an old 486 laptop with 4mb of RAM and no PCMCIA slots,
that I could use to interface with my NetBSD box allowing me to move the
monitor it is using to another system. I have Tiny Linux on the laptop,
but I want to get a custom, extremely paired down version of NetBSD on
it. If I could do the install over PLIP instead of using countless
floppies(no CDROM drive) that would be great.

Of course it runs NetBSD
