Re: [Cooker] 9.2 Errata not init floppy: not solved
This is a good idea and possibly the only solution possible, but I said that the impossibility to make a bootable floppy should be considered to erase this option on DrakConf.

It should still be possible since vmlinuz's size is less than 1.44 MB.. but soom it'll not be possible anymore I guess :). -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
