The latest boot-floppies 2.1.6 for m68k just arrived in Incoming; the 
only thing I'd like to change (undiscovered blatant bugs aside) is
upgrading
the VME and Mac kernels to 2.0.36 (Nick is doing the VME kernel
packages,
and I'll try to do the Mac part). After that, I'd consider switching 
to boot-floppies 2.1.7 (if there's enough time until release).
