Can you do that? I did a handinstall per the README because I have a
Slackware 3.0 system. When I tried to copy init over the old one, the
system would not allow me to do that. I had to shut down, boot up using
the maintenance floppies, replace init, and then reboot with the fixed
disk installation.
