Mmm, the floppy stuff is mostly for oldworld pmac and miboot floppies, and
success with them has been somewhat tedious, in big part because of poor state
of existing floppy drives in oldworld machines. It should work now though,
altough there seem to be more problems with 2.6 floppies than 2.4 ones.
The powerpc-small directory was renamed to powerpc/floppy-2.4, which made more
sense.

Yes, it would be good to have a direct link to the installer from the home
page in the future.
