that's only a problem if you insist on having the exact same install
programs on the floppy set, as you do on the cdrom set.
These days, I think that is not a good goal to aim for.
Better to aim for cdrom as the "normal" install, and provide a cut-down
version of install progs, for floppy install.
Or in other words: migrate to using anaconda (or something just as
interesting) for cdrom installs on systems that can support it,
and the current stuff otherwise.
