Yes, indeed. But there too few hints on dates, e. g. the To Do List: no date for the updates, and the last date of the boot floppies are 6th obtover 2002. Not a sign of a very active development if you won't read the mailing list. ;-)

A step by step instruction page for each way (floppies/ chroot) will clearify the braveness you need if you suppose to test it. ;-)
I simply miss some Howtos or even links to the mailing lists for workarounds etc.
