Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.15
When installing from harddisk, rescue.bin is looked for in the
images-1.44 directory. If it is not found in this directory
the installation does not proceed.
Normally all the installation files are placed in one directory.
Rescue.bin should be looked for in this directory.
The only way to install now is to create a images-1.44 directory
and copy rescue.bin to it. This is undocumented.
