I see your point. However, rather than sit still and just voice my disatisfaction, I did the typical geek thing.
I hacked. Here's what I did;
1) I downloaded the 0.8.0 iso image and the boot.img (The 0.80) version
2) Extracted the files to a folder and removed the "boot" folder from the equation.
3) made a boot floppy with rawrite.
4) used the floppy as part of the burning of a bootCD
5) Added the "Knoppix" and "Lostandfound" and other folder containing the usual goodies that I like to include
6) burned the CD.
*Note; If that solution looks amateurish, it's only because I am learning about hacking images. It also may bring to light a solution or inspire a solution to the problem.
BTW, it worked for me and I got my hacked version of 0.8.0 going. I am rather proud of that trick.
So this tells me one thing, If we are to go into that direction, Do include the components to make it so that we can make it still compatible with the older hardware.
That way we get the best of both worlds. I will repeat the operation to see if it wasn't a fluke. When I know it's good enough, I'll share the iso with the rest of yah (unless someone can do it sooner. it's not that complicated I think).
