		This would be a convenient way of making new or replacement packages for Chiyonofuji when we find existing ones that don't work, like inetd.
		After much head-scratching we found that the inetd program doesn't have a problem, but the chiyonofuji distribution has misconfigured it by putting the config file somewhere else.
		One conclusion we have reached: Although Chiyonofuji shows signs of not having been extensively exercised, the selection of packages and its basic philosophy will make a worthwhile basis for the work we're planning in the future.

	Japan Today - News - Asashoryu closing in on 20th title
		Kitanoumi, Taiho, and Chiyonofuji still loom huge in sumo history, and all of them had to earn their wins during eras when there were other formidable yokozuna in competition.
		But Chiyonofuji also had to compete against Hokutumi, a yokozuna who won eight tournaments, and, through the first third of his career, the great Kitanoumi, plus a couple other lesser yokozuna mixed into those years.
		Chiyonofuji is impressive because his competition was a lot more fierce.

	Will Ferguson - For the Love of Sumo
		Chiyonofuji was the son of a Hokkaido fisherman, and he was short, stocky and solid muscle.

		It was a religious experience to see Chiyonofuji in action.

	Eye of Modok » Perhaps, there is room for more than one superpower on the world stage.

		Chiyonofuji was in Hawaii when I get to see him, but the autograph I got because my friend's parents are a family friend of his family.

		Why: Chiyonofuji was small, but still dominated the game because he had more willpower and desire - more ganas, as is said en espanol, than any other rikishi of his time.
		We also have a bond because we are both aging rikishi of African descent.
