Re: Great but...

This problem will be solved by the basedebs.tgz work that is currently being
implemented.  Once that is working we'll be able to install the bases system
with a number of floppys.  I'm not sure where it stands at the moment, a search
or this list archive would give you a better idea.  It is definitely in
development still, so depending on how much you are ready to tackle, beware.
