First, it might be close to one that is.  So all dell machines or
all ibm machines might be similar.  Second you might make some
generic safe configurations.  And Finally,  I use -current boot
floppies to install old systems (1.3.x)  So if we provided
-current boots with old releases, there would be no problem!!
