boot-floppies/utilities/bf-utf/ now a package

2001-03-11 Thread David Whedon
I made a package of the bf-utf dir. This isn't the ideal solution but it will work. The only thing that is stopping me from uploading it is I don't know what the copyright on unifont.bdf is. ucs.bdf is in the public domain, but I didn't see anything in unifont.bdf. Anyone? In the meantime I h
