What do people find cool or not cool about using color.gz vs text.gz?  I
know the text.gz image for slack 7.0 was broken somehow but the 7.1 works
nicely.  What advantages does one get by using color.gz instead?  I've
installed slack 7.1 using both and find text.gz much faster and more to
the point.

If rawrite can't write to a sector (even though scandisk says the floppy is fine-- little does it know), the root disk will be defective as a result.
