Sorry: I never keep release older that 1 or 2. In recent release I
changed (a little) the dimension of ramdisk to fit new addon.

Anycase, the first floppy is basically equipotential with the
ancient release. The major change is about Lynx. In Old version,
a stripped Lynx is on the first floppy. Now, a full Lynx is in
the floppy #2.

In my opinion, to return back is a very bad idea. Better solution
will be to write an installer in C, which do not use the shell-script
and do not fork. The problem is the code relative to bzip2 and tar.

A second solution is to provide a small root.gz, projected for
to install and to die.
