Paul,

Wow, that's a pretty old version.
I suggest you better update due to security reasons.

The 2.6 kernel is that large, that a runnable _and_ useful floppy version in 
the way we provided it with the kernel 2.4- based versions is just not 
possible.
It should be possible to create a floppy on your own with the packages to fit 
your needs (e.g. without the ppp/pppoe stuff if you use dhcp, without an ssh 
server or whatelse you don't need) . But it won't be doable to create a 
floppy that runs out of the box with all the packages used by most of the 
users.
Thats the price to moving to a 2.6 based kernel, IMHO.

Maybe we create a basic bootable floppy version, where packages can be 
added...
