fonts are the main difference.  you can run abaco from
sources directly without installing, of course.  something
like (untested, since i have the fonts installed)

	9fs sources
	s = /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/root
	bind -a $s/lib/font/bit /lib/font/bit
	if(! test -f /mnt/webfs/ctl)
		webfs
	$s/386/bin/abaco 9fans.net/archive
