I hope you mean just for the freeze .. the current boot disks are less than
adequate for different types of installs (ie, networking setup needing dhcp,
pcmcia network fixes with that .. the cdrom selection ... things that will
be 'fixed' or added in the potato disks)... Things got bigger too, if you
checked out the current potato disks, you now need 2 if using 1.44mb
floppies as the root image got larger. The ones up now are mostly useable
(for basic freeze testing), but not good for a release .. imo anyway ..
