Exactly. It's not really sysinstall that's so important in this equation, it's the kernel and, as Joerg says, why generate an extra floppy if you don't have to? Mind you, if someone manages to combine kernel and reasonable number of "fixit utilities" on the same floppy somehow then I certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers, but Poul's and my attempts to do that in previous times were fairly unsuccessful and I'm not holding my breath. > Ah well, as Jordan mentioned: disagreement alone doesn't give us a > better fixit floppy... :) Ain't that always the case - too many generals and not enough soldiers .. :-) Jordan
