After playing around with a making prototype installer this is a more or less first part. It is extremely slow running from a floppy (even in vmware). It might be a good idea for whoever makes the installer to first copy stuff to a ram drive or enable disk caching or something to boost performance of all of the stuff. This demo WILL check for partitioning, format and transfer system files. But, that is all.
