we don't make them with -J anyway for exactly this reason (easy

The network install (on a PC) doesn't need DOS. Where did you get t
modems or routers
respectively and work fine. I have a serial extrernal ISDN TA here and it
work OK with bootfloppies.
So the website should say that people with internal ISDN adaptors can't do a
network install, but those with extranl ISDN TAs can.

Did packages used to have their status as being in the pool listed in the the
packages files? I assume so or this script should never have worked as
intended.
Anyway, I'm fixing it so that it looks for broken links instead when building
the include list, so then hope
iles that
should be in the pool and re-download them, which is a terrible waste of
phone bill and time.
