Yes, this means that the beta test will start on the 15th. Not that we will
de-commission the project!

I would not expect the 68k release to run on the same deadlines as i386.
I think it makes sense for you to trail the i386 release by a few weeks
so that you can get all of your packages in phase with the ones released
for i386. In any case, if you don't have your installation system done,
there's no way you are going to be able to track this deadline.

It is nice to see all of those files in place.

How much are you able to take from the boot-floppies package?
