We're killing root-2; it wasn't a good idea to introduce it
without good
support for loading it, and everything fits on root and net-drivers if
you juggle things around a bit. Commits will come after the archive
cron.daily run today.
I respectfully disagree.
Hey, I'm just a tester. You developer guys can do what you want.
But I predict you'll live to regret this decision.
I think the effort would be better spent in fixing the support for
loading additional floppies to make it completely open-ended and
seamless. It almost works right now -- There are simple
work-arounds for all existing problems with root-2 as it is today.
Oh well...
