I install Debian very often, for testing, production machines, testing
installation CD, etc.
I've used VFAT only 1 time, and now it isn't easy (it need a structure
dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current, dists/testing/main/binary-i386...).
I do most installation via CDROM. If I haven't CD drive i move the HD into
another machine with CD drive. I haven't time to make floppies or copy files
into a Windows HD, searching a machine with 32MB RAM and a CDROM is always
more faster. 6-7 working floppies cost more than a CD drive, for me!
