 Does the boot-floppies team need some help in sorting out the

Yes, help managing the bug list is badly needed. Thanks!

I guess most developers prefer a bug being reported, possibly
with a patch included.

Oops, I forgot to reply before. I've downloaded the patch. Your help
screens look nice, and I'll probably use them for the next boot-floppies
set. Thanks.

About the approved method, I guess it is through the bug tracking
system, but I don't mind downloading a patch, and it means less
administrative work for me (it's a pain to deal with boot-floppies bug
list, as this package usually gets as much reports about bugs in syslinux, the
kernel, modconf or even dselect as reports about real boot-floppies bugs).

I posted a patch to the boot-floppies package with changes to the help
