We don't need = = Oooh, there's a reason for me to finally get the 712/80 under my desk = to be more than a foot-rest. I'll see what I can do about this. = = Note that the likelihood of Debian releasing woody anytime soon is = vanishingly small, so this dosen't have to happen Right Now. Well yes and no. We want to release parisc-linux sooner than woody will be ready for public stable release, so we'll want to do the boot floppies work sooner than other architectures need it and can probably therefore provide early testing too. Since we aren't going to time travel back to Debian potato, woody boot floppies are increasingly interesting to replace our manual install process (hey at least it's documented!). -P
