Users are still finding SIPB's installer pretty regularly, and are
having problems using it with the new hardware they have these
days. Now that there's an I/S installer in the bootkit locker, we
should think about desupporting our own installer.

As a first step, we should also update web/linux/www to mention the
bootkit installer. I've put a preliminary new version in
http://web.mit.edu/linux/www/FAQ/new.html Feel free to send me
suggestions. If I hear no objections, I'll put this up later
today. I'll also deal with sending updates to the current OLC stock
answers referencing the subject.
