boot-floppies 3.0.7 i386 for testing
You can find boot-floppies 3.0.7 at
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/>.
I need "sanity testing" so I can be sure that it's safe to upload
this officially. That means, I need to know if there are any
significant bugs *introduced* by this build.
Please cc replies to <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>.
The jump from 2.3.6 to 3.0.7 is not because this is a major upgrade,
but rather because the first 2 numbers of the b-f version is supposed
to match the Debian release it's for, and Woody is 3.0 (not 2.3).
Attached is the changelog for 3.0.7.

boot-floppies (3.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Adam Di Carlo
- doc, i386: point to documentation on how to invoke more bioses
closes: #88080
- woody is going to be 3.0, rather than 2.3; bump package version for
boot-floppies as well
- dbootstrap: remove the options for installing potato or slink, since
that's not really supported nor tested anyhow; default if quiet is
always woody
- powerpc: BootX and bootvars should be put in tools dir (which is
/archive/debian/tools by default) rather than
downloaded every time, current URLs are
<URL:http://penguinppc.org/~benh/BootX_1.2.2.sit>
<URL:ftp://top.cis.syr.edu/users/fadushin/bootvars/bootvars1.3b.sit.hqx>

* Ethan Benson
- enable `Edit Kernel Boot Paramaters' for powerpc

its not necessary for scsi
- remove woody.debs and sid.debs from rootdisk again, debootstrap no longer
contains them.
