What are the ideas ?

I may be interested in working on them...


Also as far as space on the root floppy goes, the lost+found directory
entry in the current filesystem should be removed.

If the root filesystem type up for negotiation then romfs is smaller
than ext2.

Is the only reason we need a writable filesystem so that the install
reoprt can be stored there ? Is that a permanent feature ?
