Actually, I was thinking of using umsdos rather than minix as the filesystem for the installation root floppy. I haven't tried it yet. We'd need a package with the umsdos utilities (there's umssync, which synchronizes the directory contents with the "extended" directory after MSDOS has changed them). We'd also have to run these at the right point at boot time (and perhaps when filesystem are mounted?).
