I'd be just as happy to see us go to a larger fragment size if it doesn't screw up the floppy folk too much (don't forget - they need to stick the foo.inf file on the very first floppy, so it can't be exactly 1.44MB in size or even relatively close given what's taken for FS overhead). As much as I'd like to kill the floppy installation entirely (it penalizes _all_ the other installation types by enforcing this kind of multi-piece braindamage), I don't think we can get away with that yet. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
