Bug#142421: boot-floppies: bf2.4 flavor fails at uncompressing linux.bin

[Eric Van Buggenhaut <eric@eric.andago.net>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 20020411
Severity: important

I downloaded all bf2.4 files from www.debian.org:
rescue.bin
root.bin
linux.bin
install.bat
basedebs.tar

and placed them in the correct directories (Note that it is nowhere explained
where to place install.bat) of a FAT partition of a Windows 98 installed
system.

I rebooted Windows in DOS mode, cd'd to where install.bat was and launched it.

System hangs saying:

Uncompressing Linux...

invalid compressed format (err=1)

 -- System halted

-- System Information
Debian Release: none yet
