on a slightly off-topic note, does anyone know if the new debian-boot
stuff be able to boot from a _single_ floppy and perform a network

this is one of the things i think has been lacking in debian - in order to
perform a network install, you must create 6 floppies; rescue, root, and 4
driver disks. bleah.
