You are perfectly right but still I would like to again mention our good
old wish of having a solid one-floppy muLinux AND the possibility to
enhance it by using addons.
Michele, do you see any chance of offering *both* a one floppy and a
two floppies solution - without administrative overhead for you?
We discussed that a while ago and it ended somewhere in the area of
"Oh, my god, I will never be able to support two different models
of muLinux simultaneously, I just do not have the time for this!"
It would be best if we found a way to keep the good old 1-disk-muLinux
but still offer the two-disks solution for people who prefer that way
or who have problems with 1.7M disks. (Perhaps a skript could help you
in the administrative job?)
Best greetings,
Karl-Heinz <fighting against windmills :) >
