Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal


The ide-floppy module is missing from debian-installer image, which 
limits its usefulness as a rescue disk.

Without the presence of this device, it is not possible to boot into 
rescue mode and use the laser servo diskette drive to replace missing 
files.

Mark.

Assuming this is fixed, and closing.

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
