If so, it's dead too soon. One should always wait for the .2 or
.3 release of ANYTHING one is using on a production system.
Especially since 3.0 was SPECIFICALLY labeled as not ready for
mission-critical systems.

Well, we all know that Jordan worked long and hard on the install
code and did all sorts of tricks to keep it to one floppy.
Nonetheless, I think that this is an important selling point.
Also, from a technical standpoint, there's no reason why a single
floppy can't reach out to the installation media and bring in any
code that won't fit. This may well be an opportunity to leapfrog
Linux once again.
