Eric is working on the disks. I think he is going to patch slink_cd
for the dual boot stuff. (It's pretty simple, I can come up with the
patch after I know how he is naming the disk images.
I'm not sure if he will have time to finish it until this weekend. He
is adding support to boot-floppies to handle 2.2.x kernels and install
the right kernel depending on the architecture of the Sparc kernel.
The changes to slink_cd to implement the dual booting are trivial. I
believe that Eric is going to take care of this. (I can do it if he
doesn't.)
Once anders X patches are in Branden's hands, the remaining issues
will be the install documentation and the gdb package.
