Bug#30759: Loadlin Installation Files (and likley disks, too)

[Ian Warford <iwarford@odyssey.on.ca>]

Package: general
Version: 2.1.2
Severity: critical

The loadlin-based installation procedure files (install.bat, loadlin.exe,
linux, root.bin, etc) do not contain the nessecary drivers to read off of
vfat/fat32.  Regardless of any opinions of Microsoft filesystems, this is a
bug, as it flat out prevents loadlin-based installation from Win95b/98.

My assumption would be that this bug/oversight is present in the floppy
boot disks as well.

These were downloaded from slink/main/disks-i386/2.1.2_1998-12-04/

  O! Water cold we may pour at need 
    down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed; 
      but better is Beer, if drink we lack, 
        and Water Hot poured down the back.
