Thanks for making the boot-floppies, Phil!

I tried just the kernel and root.bin on my Acorn RiscPC, I did not
download the base.tgz (not enough bandwidth here). I also used an old
ARM potato r0 CD I still had.

Everything worked fine (in particular, no crashes on my ARM710), with
one exception: The installer looked for
"riscpc/{drivers.tgz,images-1.44/rescue.bin}", while on my
_r0_CD_ROM_, only
"2.2.16-<something>/{drivers.tgz,images-1.44/rescue.bin}" was present.

But the directory structure on ftp.armlinux.org seems to imply that
the extra directory level for the "riscpc" subarchitecture has been
added, so this should be OK...

Cheers,

  Richard
