Is there / will there be a floppy-based installation option? Obviously
not a full installer, but something which can boot the target system and
bootstrap the remaining installation from there?
Granted, my current preferred method is
debootstrap <release> <target mountpoint> <debian archive>
...from a booted Knoppix system. But for legacy hardware with floppy
and a network link (eth, PLIP, SLIP, foo), useful.
Peace.
