Maybe I should have been more specific; I don't advocate the dropping of
floppy support. I have one system that has no CD-ROM. I have to have a
floppy-based install for it. I have another system that doesn't have a
floppy drive. Therefore, it has to have bootable CDs. Perhaps I am being a
bit x86-centric, but it would add the ability to support more languages.
