I'm more than happy to use the testing disks. I don't know if I how much help
I can be BUT I'm willing to test them and give some feedback.
Even if the feedback is:
On this hardware ..... I did ..... and it didn't work. I got XYZ errors etc
etc.
I even have a PPC running slink :) Yeah real old. I'd be happy to test the
boot floppies on that, repeatedly.
Yours Tony.
