I suggest that you keep the floppy-install option. If Plan 9 is
installed, its normally on a virtual machine, or on an older computer
somewhere in the garage, often with floppy-drives only. But if its
time consuming to support it...
- Can you make it automatic? when you create the boot CD, generate the
floppy image as a byproduct.
- Can you provide a link to an older version of Plan 9 that still
supports this option?
Just dont make a feature disappear without trace, because the user
base is assuming that its there, and you send them a bad message about
the reliability of the product.
