6263 bytes mostly documentation.

Unpackage to a floppy disk, and copy one (or all - about 3K total) of 
these tiny files (pick the one that matches your CPU type such as AMD K7) 
to the free space on a BL #2 boot disk. (Steven has provided lots of extra 
space in BL3.50).  Boot to linux, do NOT mount any file systems, and then 
from the floppy disk run burnK7, for example, to try to crash your system. 
It stresses the cpu and board and preserves errors - code 254 for 
integer/memory error and 255 for FP/MMX error.  There are also two RAM 
testers included.

Intel burnP5 burnP6
AMD   burnK6 burnK7

Someone asked us to try to fix a K7 system that 'hangs' and we would like 
to make it crash without adding XP first.

Billed as the cpu equivalent of memtest, but this was compiled to be run 
from a linux root/boot disk.  It passed memtest and the PSU voltages are 
correct.  We have a spare CPU.
