I need to take a closer look at the new bootloader, then. I remember you were saying that it doesn't work yet with HDDs, right? (or were they floppies..) > going to help your case much. (kzip is smaller than the new > bootloader). Then we probably want to keep it, because there is already problem with space on the boot.flp. However, this also probably means that the installation floppies will stay a.out, which also means running an a.out kernel. Am I right? > You could build kzip a.out pretty easily.
