module won't install
Hello!
In an otherwise unrelated mail I found a paragraph
related to the boot-floppies. I quote it here to make
sure it is read by the boot-floppies team and as I
had the same problem.

I did not reboot and had the same effect. Even worse:
When I tried to install modules after that I did not even get
the list of modules to choose one. I hit return in the main
dbootstrap menu to install a module and the menu was redisplayed
immediately.
I did not use 2.2.13 yet, all this happened with 2.2.12. I might have
the possibility to give it another try or do some further investigation
tomorrow.
bye
