Re: [floppy installs] would someone consider upgrading the floppy images ?
Hello,
I'm coming back on this matter, as I found a few floppy images available
at SID.

(About what I says just above, it was necessary for the floppy installer
to continue installing, even without using the content of the CD)
I found theses images, that are of March Ist 2008:
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-i386/20080227/images/floppy/
It was difficult to find out, because there are so many folders under
each entry.
I know that floppy installs are not so usual nowadays, but as here and
there on forums I meet with people who are looking for such a possibility,
it would be nice to make the information more easily available.
Is there anyone on this list who might have the key to a solution to
realize that ?
