New boot-floppies for 3.0r1?

2002-09-11 Thread Stefan Gybas
Hi! I've found several S/390-related problems in boot-floppies and will commit fixes for them in the next few days. Are we going to build new boot-floppies (3.0.24) for the Debian 3.0r1 point release? Greetings, Stefan Gybas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subje
