I don't really like mkboot at all. I guess I could put something that
creates a syslinux or LILO boot disk in its place, so that the user
could at least have a boot command line.

New bug report received and forwarded.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
