8.0 problems.

Listen up, dudes and dudettes!  I don't know why Thomas had a problem 
booting from a floppy, maybe a bad disk, but as I said in a previous post, 
RH uses one kernel for all the installation methods.  I installed two 
systems using a floppy, Janina as done one, and Maurice has installed one.

          HTH.
