sounds right to me

probably a good idea to wipe out before "destkop overwrite unit")

i think the only things that i did in addition were

1. installing Graffiti 1 (since i detest Graffiti 2)

(there're 2 PRC's files)

2. installing Chinese traditional OS (you don't need this step)

"A genuine first-hand religious experience is bound to be a heterodoxy 
to its witnesses, the prophet appearing as a mere lonely madman. If his 
doctrine prove contagious enough to spread to any others, it becomes a 
definite and labeled heresy. But if it then still prove contagious 
enough to triumph over persecution, it becomes itself an orthodoxy; and 
when a religion has become an orthodoxy, its day of inwardness is over; 
the spring is dry; the faithful live at second hand exclusively and 
stone the prophets in their turn. The new church, in spite of whatever 
human goodness it may foster, can be henceforth counted on as a staunch 
ally in every attempt to stifle the spontaneous spirit, and to stop all 
later bubblings of the fountain from which, in purer days, it drew its 
own supply of inspiration."

--- William James (The Varieties of Religious Experience)
