As far as I can tell, the linux.slackware.nb volume isn't mounted
anywhere in the linux locker currently, but it's still taking up a lot
of space.  So, to do my part to conserve bits, I mounted the volume
somewhere random and erased the Slackware 2.3.0 and Slackware 3.0.0
stuff.  (I don't see any reason for people to install those versions
anymore.)  (I didn't erase the Slackware 3.1.0 stuff.)

(I don't dislike Slackware as much as some people might, but it's
certainly questionable if this volume is serving any purpose when (a)
it's not mounted anywhere and (b) there's no publicly-announced
Slackware NFS server on MITnet.)

Hope this doesn't terribly inconvenience anyone.
-Sal.
