And download the full CD and cope with some glitchs. Loock for the
thread on -stable.
Right now, we do floppies, a FTP distribution and some isos.
I only pointing that make release may be tweak to produce a some megs
tarball that you can expand on tftpboot.
If we have the boot_crunch done and the root mfs, this additional target
can't be too complex.
And it's easy to test that 'go floppies'.
