Okay, here's a solution (of sorts) for the reinstallation disk problem. I've test on four completely different systems (mainly, different motherboards and floppy drives) and it works. I'll leave it to someone else to either 1) make a contrib to implement, or 2) add to the Mitel CD.
1. Format a 1760K floppy and create a filesystem and mount the disk # fdformat /dev/fd0u1760 # mkfs /dev/fd0 # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 2. Mount the "standard" floppy image and copy to the 1760K floppy # mount -t vfat -o loop -o rw /etc/e-smith/floppy/boot.img /mnt/cdrom # cp /mnt/cdrom /mnt/floppy 3. Unmount both devices # umount /mnt/floppy # umount /mnt/cdrom 4. Make a backup of the original boot.img file, then create a new boot.img from the newly created 1760K disk # mv /etc/e-smith/floppy/boot.img /etc/e-smith/floppy/boot.org # cp /dev/fd0 /etc/e-smith/floppy/boot.img That should do it. It may be necessary to tweak the reinstall disk code (I've not looked) just in case it does a format of the disk (or perhaps it should be FORCED to format, since it is unlikely the average Joe will have a 1760K disk hanging about.) Anyway, it does work. The disk boots, and there is an extra 300K to play with.
