What about the possibility of having a multi-floppy version of the
boot.iso in that older machines would be able to take advantage of
Fedora as well?
I'm not sure how to split up the image though, but I think that it
should be possible.
worth investigating?
Well, just my small input on what I see is a small short-fall of the system.
Thanks again,
Lonnie
