Bug#243478: 'grub-install --no-floppy'
I'm probably being stupid here but douse the installer automatically
work out there is no floppy or do I have to do something to let it know.
Glad to find info about this but as it is what is causing me problems.

Dear Joey Hess,
Thank you for the fast answer.
I'm sorry about the tone. Really didn't mean it that way. I have big
respect for you guys.
That's great that you have already implemented it!
Thanks a lot!
Best,
Helmut Rathgen
