Eric will you work on the bootfloppies ? Yes, yes, I'm working on :-)) I recompiled everything and I'm starting to test a fresh install to see how it works (or not)... About kernel, I will release the next bootdisks with 2.0.35. Is it enough reliable for *all* sparc workstations, or should I switch to 2.1 ? Regards.
