<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>

The net-drivers floppy image is not there as you don't need it for an
installation where you boot from floppy, but install from CD.
Why would you download the entire CD if you're not going to use it?
Just download the floppy images from [1] if you want to do an network
installation; you won't need the cd-drivers floppy.

I'm closing this report as there is no bug.
Cheers,
FJP
