No problemo! Here it is.

BUT: I don't have a greek keyboard either. My reasoning for saying that this
should work now is based on the changes that Ben Collins did for 2.2.10,
_and_ on field work: I compiled the boot-floppies with greek keyboard
support (no errors) and then boot them (no errors when choosing greek
keyboard). Nevertheless, I think somebody with a greek keyboard should try
it out first. Searching through db.debian.org, I found Konstantinos Margaritis
<markos@debian.org> from Greece. Maybe he could help?

BTW, thanks for adding Portuguese support to boot-floppies.
