There's a thread on debian-devel about this. There doesn't seem to be
much opposition to the idea, so if the release manager agrees I guess
it'll make it in.

There's also been talk about this, and with the history of multiple
releases of slink it's a strong possibility. I hope the release cycle
for woody will be a lot shorter than that for potato, though.

It would be great if the latest version of lilo could be droped into the potato 
boot
flopies, especially as one of the main problems our site has had was not being 
able
to boot our laptops from the hard drive unless we got hold of partition magic or
re-installed NT from scratch.  We have pre-installed laptops with NT and a 
spare 4GB
partition at the end of the 12GB hard drive.  Debian installs no problem, but 
wont
boot of the hard drive because lilo cant deal with the partition ending after 
1024
cylinders.

Even if lilo cant make the boot floppies, it would be dissapointing if it didnt 
make
it into potato, especially with so many large hard drives around these days...
How about a 'potato service pack' if everything is fixed in potato??
