I'd rather like to see our bootable CDROM images equipped with more
extensive rescue disk facilities like a "real" vi and whatnot like
various other distributions already have (at least SuSE and ?). I
would love to have the option to choose between a rescue floppy with
limited contents and a rescue option when booting from CDROM (even
Win98 offers this now) containing lots of useful tools without space
restriction imposed by inferior storage media. Needless to say that i
wouldn't bother about the rescue floppy anymore with a rescue CDROM
present. *That* would be a very nice thing to have...
Cheers, P. *8^)
