Question:	What about the Bootfloppies ?

Many bad Debian $USER using the bf24 as there standard Kernel and do not replace it with an other kernel flavor...

The Boot-Disks are not updated since 21.05.2002...

If I recall correctly it is assumed that users will not run on the boot floppy kernels after the initial system installation. They are expected to install a more appropriate kernel after finishing the install.

As such there will be no patch for the boot floppy kernel.
