    Yep, the option to make a boot floppy has gone, well i couldn't find it
    anywhere, even under expert26, and no more vanilla and such for older
    systems :o)

    but apart from that it went strait onto me lappy last night and purrrrrrred
    :o)

    I really missed the security of a boot floppy though :o(
