Paul, Leaf isn't a monolithic project. Suggesting something doesn't mean discontinuing something else. The bering-uclibc team seems adamant about continuing floppy support at this time. That doesn't mean another leaf branch has to feel the same way about this issue. For example, Wisp-Dist never supported a floppy install. Please see our project derivation chart, and project development model for examples/explanations of these concepts. http://leaf-project.org/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=2 http://www.mail-archive.com/leaf-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg04541.html Note: Eric and Martin posted today in favor of continuing our current development model. -- Mike Noyes <mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ SF.net Projects: leaf, phpwebsite, phpwebsite-comm, sitedocs ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
