Count your blessings that you have 4.1 Berkeley Unix-- things just
ain't the same anymore.  Just think, you can now configure it by
editing one simple config file-- not only that, but you actually get a
50 page document telling you how to do it!  It's even so rash as to
understandably describe some of the config files in /etc, how to lay
out disks, and even how to do filesave.  Imagine all the fun you're
missing by not editing mysterious l.s and c.c files!  And no more long
long nights poring over the scavenged console sessions of departed
wizards trying to figure out how to patch up munged file-systems--
fsck (& vmunix) do it all.

Where's the justice in a world where others don't forever have to
suffer the way we did?
