It won't fit.  The TCP/IP is separate.  But, I took out the CD drive anyway.  I 
got plenty of 36 GB disks.  Easiest to just put the distribution, bootable, on one.

The VMS stuff is just over about a GB, un-zipped.

Don't know why they made the IG a PDF, I don't have that capability on my VMS 
systems.  Guess I'll move it to weendoze to read it.

I also don't have a clue why there is 272 directories, SYS0, SYS1, SYS??, and so 
on.  Haven't looked yet to see if any have files.
