and it worked OK.
How did you do that? I cannot.

no, it's not.
Yes, it is holding boot-floppies back: take a look at my error
messages. I am running a properly upgraded frozen and boot-floppies
are not installing on account of the bug in tetex-bin.
There is some difference between your system and mine that is not
being handled, so boot-floppies are failing. This is a bug, since
boot-floppies should be installing.
