Is there a situation, where base must be installed from floppies, and it is possible to install the rest of a functioning Debian system with some other means? What I mean is, if floppy install is the only possibility, then reducing the number of boot floppies by making special stub packages does not really help, because then the real full function packages must be installed from floppies anyway. I have nothing against providing support for floppy install, but if some person is forced to install that way it is so major PITA that a few floppies more or less does not matter. If I can not install from CD, LAN, other hard disk partition or serial link, I would seriouly consider dumping that computer and getting a new one with support for some usable hardware for installation. -- Tapio Lehtonen Tapio.Lehtonen@IKI.FI PGP public key from http://www.iki.fi/Tapio.Lehtonen
