Is this the right way? I thought the only two reasons for a floppy based installation
are:

   * the user has no cdrom nor net connection
   * for router

Can every floppy drive read 2.88, or only newer boards, what about router and user with
an ls120 drive?

We're going to have more and more trouble with this old floppy setup method. We should 
break it and support only cdrom and one 1.44 floppy for routers and nfs/tftp/bootp booting
or to boot from the cdrom.

The current is a big pain and 9 or more base*bin aren't nice, even for the user. 


Thnx,
