Yes, help managing the bug list is badly needed. Thanks!

Does the boot-floppies team need some help in sorting out the
(now-huge) bug list? I know there are a whole lot of easily-fixed bugs
on that list, but barely any of them have any response from the
boot-floppies team at all.

Oops, I forgot to reply before. I've downloaded the patch. Your help
screens look nice, and I'll probably use them for the next boot-floppies
set. Thanks.

About the "approved method", I guess it is through the bug tracking
system, but I don't mind downloading a patch, and it means less
"administrative work" for me (it's a pain to deal with boot-floppies bug
list, as this package usually gets as much reports about bugs in syslinux, the
kernel, modconf or even dselect as reports about real boot-floppies bugs).
Also, we (the boot-floppies team) have received patches at the
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and nobody has complained (yet). :-)

I guess most developers prefer a bug being reported, possibly
with a patch included.

I posted a patch to the boot-floppies package with changes to the help
screen.  Since I didn't get feedback on it I wonder if this is not the 
approved method of making changes to other people's packages.

The edits, if you're interested, are on master
