Is the status for the images at
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/floppy/
and
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/floppy-2.4/
both the same? Are both broken?

Should we mention this in the errata on
   http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/debian-installer/index#errata
for the Sarge images?
Or should we try to get them removed / add a README in the those 
directories?

Should maybe something be added on the powerpc port pages about this 
issue?


Does this also mean that the line for
   powerpc - oldworld - floppy-2.4
on
   http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ports-status
should also be listed as "broken" and in red?

Cheers,
FJP
