If we get dfsg-free floppies then I making a strong > recommendation to use the floppies and not BootX makes more sense. If we don't get free floppies (there is/has been work on two approaches, rewriting miboot and adding a floppy driver to quik), I see no problem in mentioning BootX _after_ explaining netboot and while stating the technical problems, which _might_ occur and pointing out the non-free issue. If we can't include miboot in non-free (I'm not completly sure we cannot, but IRRC it doesn't look real good. Please prove me wrong! :) then we shouldn't point to the miboot images in the manual. Providing them in a legal grey area is one thing, linking them in the official manual is another. Sigh. regards, Holger
