Well damn, you just did your annouce of new boot disks right before I was
ready to send you the "patch" :-/
Anyways, I'm sending this to debian-boot, even though you originally replied
to me in debian-devel, because I'm guessing this is the better place.
Please note, however, that I am NOT subscribed to debian-boot.
A few notes here:
* I could care less about boot floppies: I boot directly from cdrom.
* What follows is a suggested replacement for (debian 2.2)
(/cdrom)/install/boot.bat
which is a "boot from msdos" util script, not the default "boot from cdrom"
script. I'm not sure where that is, otherwise I'd offer a suggestion for
that, too.
* BTW: http://www.nc5.infi.net/~wtnewton/batch/batguide.html
