All these packages installed OK using kpackage (9 of them with incremented
versions rsync'd in the meantime) bar urpmi-1.4-3mdk.586:
execution script failed - exit status 255; found 0 source and 1

Sorry about harsh words here - I was unaware that consolehelper was already
used in 7.2 (without problems). Problem was caused by missing usermode.
BTW, DrakConf's boot floppy creation still fails. It appears to work and
puts files on the floppy, but it's not bootable - if inserted at boot time
it's ignored.
