Bug#118276: boot-floppies: Changes involving quik in woody b-f should be backported to potato
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.23
Severity: important
I had occasion to install using the potato 2.2.23 version of boot-floppies
on an oldworld. The quik 'Make Hard Disk Bootable' in that version is
unusable. I ended up booting the 3.0.16 installer just to use its make Hard
Disk Bootable menu item, and it worked fine.
So if it hasn't already been done, I think that item should be backported.
It makes the difference between a successful oldworld install and a
disappointing failure.
