Hi,
Sorry to having been silent on the subject of the boot-floppies. I
lack of free time to work seriously on the boot-floppies for potato. I
realize now that not warning about this might have prevent someone
else to step in earlier.
I would be glad to try to answer any questions about the slink
boot-floppy work, but I guess it is better for someone else to take
the responsability for the Alpha potato boot-floppies.
Regards,
Loic
