I thought at first that "noauto" hadn't made it into 2.1, so it didn't even cross my mind as an option. However, I just checked and it's definitely in there so I'll use it. Still, I think that the present situation remains sub-optimal in the extreme. The bootup *should not fail just because there's no CD in the friggin' drive!* > need of bash.

What I would be willing to do is add the concept of "bonus packs" or something where there are multiple, aggregated sets of packages loaded as a group. Anything less than this and there's no reason not to simply use the package loading menu. Anyone care to suggest some standard sets? > Actually, you *don't* use the same kernel for the floppy, since the > floppy kernel contains the MFS image, while the disk kernel doesn't > contain it.

It's not an option you can turn off, after all! :-) Jordan
