We're trying to pull together 2.2.17 boot-floppies release. It fixes
a lot of problems relative to the 2.2.16 boot-floppies -- see
changelog snippet below.
This is the Martin Schultz release -- kudos to him to all his hard
work chugging thru the bugs.
I know a lot of people have moved on from

Hi everybody,
As I already mentioned to some people (but not on this list) I have the
