Bug#65379: boot-floppies: drivers.tgz Error messes up screen
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.15
Severity: wishlist
If there's an error during decompression of drivers.tgz, then an
error is printed on the main dialog screen, which makes
a slight mess of the display :-)
This could happen for example, (as I did), someone forgot
to copy the 3rd drivers boot floppy image.
