Package: root disk
Version: 0.93R6 pre-release-1

I have tried several disks, but the install program is always unable
to create a boot disk.  It gives the error message:

   WARNING: There was a problem creating the bootdisk.
   It is possible that your disk was write-protected.

It would be nice to know what the undisclosed problem was.  I've tried
both (msdos) formatted and unformatted disks with no luck.

I thought I would try to shell out and copy the kernel onto a floppy
by hand but option "0  Execute shell" does nothing!  :-(
