Re: Woody directly to ATA/100 drives?

[David Kimdon <dwhedon@debian.org>]

Hi all,

Let's keep our interaction with users civil and give them the respect
they deserve.  We are fortunate to get people here with lots of
different backgrounds.  Some people are Debian install guru's and
others aren't.  That's the way it should be.

Please don't feel like I am chastising you, Eduard.  Your work on
boot-floppies is greatly appreciated and we'd be lost without you.

This sort of comment isn't helping anyone.  It can only create
friction between us and a potential user.

Thanks,
