Debian Woody floppy images

[Giorgio T. <de...@ip...>]

Hello Michel,

i think you know that i am giving my collaboration to test 
APUS Debian Woody boot floppies with the supervision of 
Sven Luther.
I think that now the tests are more than beta and i wish
that this software could be tested also by other APUS 
people that uses Debian.
Note however that now this is still classified unstable.
1st) May i upload in some manner, somewhere in
     Our SourceForce space this software, with the
     needed notes and instructions ? 
2nd) I have seen in Debian package lists that 2.4.4
     kernel .deb appeared but after a while quickly 
     disappeared. (i however got my own copy... :))  
    Why this?  
     I had tested it with boot_floppies and all was fine:
     The kernel package was correctly handled when MAKing 
     boot floppies and also the root image loading was OK. 
     The 2 driver's images that was created was loaded 
     correctly and was very amazing to see the (very big) 
     list of modules that was possible to configure! 

For Sven,

As you asked me i am going to upload, if approved,
the boot images to SourceForge, these will be better 
that the ones i have uploaded to you:
they (what i have uploaded to you) had a problem in
the borders visualization that now is fixed,
and this copy will be with 2.4.4 ( unstable...) ;-).
I have finished 3 little progs to extract, build, boot 
and load the floppy disks (1.76M) with the 1.44M file
images. Note the word boot. :-).
I am refining these three and they will be added, 
with instructions, in the tarball i shall upload.
I shall also meet Alan Buxey: his program that creates
the boothack strings is a very good idea and i wish
to use it...
I am also continuing to update from Debian CVS my 
own archive of the software but i haven't seen yet 
added that two patches needed by APUS.
What do you think about ?

Weather report.
Now is evening.
I am sweating and my 17' monitor's plastic is near to melt.  
This is a sunny country... ;-) 
I wish to know if someone is able to build a sweaty face:
happy :-) , sad :-( , humour ;-) , but sweat ?
:))

Regards
