I looked earlier at URL above earlier, but just kensmith (CC added) Log Message: Turn off the building of boot floppies for amd64/i386. No reason in there, why or URL pointer to a list discussion. > I'm guessing that this because of resource constraints (getting > everything to fit)? I assume that if it was just that folks weren't > using them, it would be easy to keep them. A few data points: Seconded. Ken, I'd suggest it would be good to commit & post a comment why removed. It will later affect rescue capability of some older servers when they get upgraded, (I guess many/most legacy production servers still are 7.*, at least till 8.1 comes out).
