That is surely what I will do, and have done already.
It bites me a little bit that we don't ship with 2.4.x boot disks, so if I 
make boot-floppies with 2.4.x, could I upload them to somewhere so that 
others could have an easy time installing on their MylexRAID equipped 
machines?
Not having read the proper documents, I'll start with the "How to become a 
debian developer".
Do anybody else have plans to make such disks?

I would really like to see Debian used, also for high end machines with the 
i386 architecture. Sometime back I installed Mandrake on a server. I didn't 
know debian yet, I needed the machine up and go fast, and Mandrake was the 
first to support 2.4.x and reiserfs. I haven't converted the machine to 
debian until recently! After I figured out how to make the boot-floppies with 
the 2.4.13 kernel of my special configuration.
If making and uploading boot-floppies and bootable iso images with 2.4.x in 
some flavours could remedy this situation for other sysadms wanting to 
install Deban, but having the possibility to, without investing much time in 
boot floppies, that would be worth my time.
