Hacked the boot-floppies to allow PCMCIA configuration to be aborted.

I didn't get any hacking done this weekend. I went to San Francisco instead. I don't think a cooler city exists. While there I had my first Eritrean cuisine, which was excellent (and you get to eat it without silverware). It was on the southwest corner of Hayes and Divisadero if anyone is interested.

I also saw The Laramie Project at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. It was quite good. And I visited Ring Mountain on the Tiburon Peninsula, Twin Peaks, the Castro, and Golden Gate Park. And more.

Yippee! I successfully installed sid using woody boot-floppies. And I only had to hand-edit two files.

Submitted a patch to fix case-sensitivity problems in the listing page of the GNU Free Software Directory.
