Fine with me - although I'll still make CDs for people as one-offs.
Does the current root disk support being loaded as an initrd? I'm working
on a modification to mkisofs which will allow me to produce bootable CDs
for machines whose BIOSes support this. This should make a no-floppy

which end on Thursday).
