Yeah, splitting up resources just at the point when Debian-Installer finally seems to come along nicely. It took ages to find porters for d-i, I hope they don't turn back to boot-floppies now. Nothing against improved/bug-fixed versions for woody point-releases, but I don't agree with doing this "let's get back to boot-floppies" stunt for a second major release in a row. Of course, I haven't contributed to boot-floppies in any way, so this is just my opinion/advice. Feel free to ignore it. Michael
