No. That is not the same. The initial boot for floppy installations does not have a timeout, same as for CD. It is only during the switch from boot floppy to root floppy that we implemented the timeout, and then only for the reason that it was impossible to include USB (keyboard) support on the boot floppy due to size constraints. So, this is _after_ the installer has already been booted and the kernel has already been loaded. > If so, either syslinux or rootskel should be changed so that the > behaviour is consistent. It is consistent.
