Now, building a floppy disk image from today's CVS results in free space
-188 K. I've tried to tune it by removing netcfg-static and
isa-pnp-modules from debian-installer/build/ pkg-lists/net/common and
debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/net/i386; but this failed too: free
space -158 k:

BTW, just dd-ing the borken .img to fd0 does give a bootable floppy.
It's not of much use, though.
Hope this is of any use to you, and thanks for working on
debian-installer: it looks quite promissing!

Hm, I guess so:
root@nagy:~# apt-get update && apt-get install libdebian-installer3 \
libdiscover1 slang1-utf8-pic syslinux dosfstools libdiscover1-pic \
genext2fs mklibs libdebconf1 libc6-pic sysutils

A nice bootfloppy got created.
Dunno how I could've missed that the first time. I'd expect it to have
failed. Anyway, for some reason, the problems seems to be solved now.
Thanks, Bye,
