Comments/Problems:
<With rc1, I was very pleased to see that I needn't to burn an ISO to
install a box, only to boot with 4 floppies. I was disappointed with
rc2, as I didn't find any net-drivers.img, and as my network card is an
old ISA ne2, the network is not detected and I must stop there. I
suppose I'll have to burn a CD, hoping that this old CD player will
accept to read it. That would be good to have net-drivers.img back if
possible.
Nice work, anyway. - Christophe>
