Can I just note for a second here that we used a 2 floppy install from the very beginning (boot.flp and root.flp) and only managed to go to one for a comparatively short segment of the project's overall timeline? It was a nifty trick, but it just ran out of steam. Most "fans" of boot.flp don't even realize that it was actually crippled somewhat severely for many types of machines there for some time, but I was sneaky enough in my selection of things to "unofficially unsupport" (for the purposes of installation, anyway) that few people complained much less caught on. I'm very happy to be using GENERIC (modulo that stuff which is still truly unnecessary for an installation) again. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
