DrakX will at last switch to new kernel-BOOT. Alas, ACPI is big, but
is going to be needed more and more in the future. The result is a
kernel ~100KB bigger, and fitting on floppy even harder than before.
Hopefully install floppies are no more as important as they used to be
(because of isolinux all.img, PXE/tftp, hd&grub [1])... but it's no reason to drop
them so soon [2]
Removed floppies: usb.img, other.img
New floppies: hd_usb.img, network_gigabit_usb.img
- good news: many gigabit drivers are now available
- bad news: the following modules are not available on install floppies

(nb: a lot of them were already not available on install floppies)
If you use one of those, please tell!
Thanks!

[2] FYI, for installing RedHat 8.1beta through the network, one needs
2 floppies!
