Hi,

Has anybody succesfully installed 1.6.1/RC using"boot-small.fs"? I
tried last night to install using a "small" floppy from my own build,
and it failed to make the disklablel. Some kind of problem with the
device files. Apologies for not making a proper bug report: I can't
rule out my own build, or the target machine (an old Compaq Presario
that needs a BIOS extender to boot Windows from a 20G drive), but I
suspect too much was removed from "small". I just wonder if anyone
else has tried it.
