No. The floppy method is NOT targeted only at legacy systems. If it cannot exist as a full-featured installation method on the same level as other installation methods, then there is no point in maintaining it. Real legacy systems can always install Sarge and upgrade too. I'm sorry, but this is the last post from me in this thread. I appreciate your idea, but it's just not an approach that I at least would ever want to follow.
