The original is a StarOffice document, and it's export to html leaves a lot

This might be better left to the discretion of the user, but perhaps adding a
comment to go along with the above #!... would let the user know he has the

Neat approach. I gather that you left the orginal section declarations in
syslinux.cfg and just added a new one? So then you would boot up with the
floppy, and select 'linux' on the command line to allow the initial install
to proceed?
Would it not be easier to just wait a few seconds more till the 2nd stage
install started, then pop the floppy out to acheive the same result? This
would ensure that the computer really does boot correctly from disk.
