I mean the repeat-key function is active even when selecting commands from
the menus, so you can select (default) items continuously if you hold the
enter key down. That's probably not trivial to change, but it would be safer
if the hold-and-repeat function for the enter key could be disabled during
dbootstrap, so the enter key would only send one key event per press.

The symlink was generated, I verified it was there. modules.dep was

Wouldn't filesystem corruption be solved by re-initializing the disk? Well
unless badblocks not working means it's trying to use bad blocks in the fs.
I didn't have that problem with 2.2.19, I'll go back and try an install with
the 2.2.19 floppies I still have to see if the disk is really bad.
