The most annoying part was getting that "Retrieve modules from floppies" in the right place in the menu, since 10,11,12,13, etc were all taken. I had to reorganize all menu item numbers between 10 and 25, as follows: 10 languagechooser 13 load-floppy 15 ethdetect s390-netdevice (s390) 18 netcfg-dhcp 20 netcfg-static cdrom-detect choose-mirror load-installer download-installer load-floppy and download-installer are the new packages that just provide items on the menu, and call anna with a given retreiver. For images other than the floppy, the old behaviour will be retained for now by including load-installer on the image. I'll begin streaming this into CVS and the archive soon. -- see shy jo
