If the author of the utility loadlin.exe (Hans Lerman) has stated on his web page (http://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/~lermen) that all versions greater than 2.1.22 should be installed with the updated version of loadlin (v1.6a) due to memory detection problems, why is Debian still distributing v1.6?
Why doesn't Debian also distribute the loadlin manual and parameters documents (total 32Kb and 13Kb respectively) when the loadlin.exe file refers to them for help with settings, switches, etc.? Or at least post the link to Hans Lermen's homepage on the main debian.org website? When the SLINK distribution was frozen, why weren't the installation documents upgraded as well? They should address the fact that the 1.73Mb floppy will not work for some machines and that a separate ROOT floppy is also needed in addition to the usual disks if a floppy install is done. Why hasn't a LINUX kernel file been included with the SLINK distribution to allow for installation with the loadlin.exe program without the file system errors the floppy version of the LINUX kernel file causes? Has anyone noticed that the frozen SLINK distribution is _exactly_ the same as the proposed "new" potato distribution? - BOHICA
