got that, but had to fetch nvi off the distribution.  i first
tried rpi -i nvi-m17n-canna-1.79-20011024.2.i386.rpm (off disk 1),
which barfed because canna wasn't there, and then found on
nvi-m17n-nocanna-1.79-20011024.2.i386.rpm on disk 3.  that
works fine.  thank you very much.

i didn't find any specific canna on any of the three distribution
disks.  what the devil is canna, anyhow?
