boot floppies status report

[bruce@Pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

The boot floppies install a running 1.1 system. I have to clean the scripts
up a bit this evening and then I'll upload them. These are still the 0.93
install scripts, and I'll be making a number of changes after uploading
this first version. The most important are to run LILO on the root partition,
to install "mbr" on the disk and activate the root partition unless the
user doesn't want that, and to use syslinux for the boot floppy (the boot
floppy is no longer necessary unless your root is not on your first disk or
you don't install "mbr").

After that, it's back to improving the installation user interface. That
means working on the disk tool, and then writing new dialogues for other
stuff.

	Thanks
