Thanks. This will be the last RC for 3.1. Consider it a feature freeze and only bugs will be fixed so we can officially get 3.1 released.

What exactly is improved for Bootfloppy installs ?
What does this mean ?

I still hope, that I will be able someday to boot from a floppy disk first and second from a write-protected USB-pen without that the system brings an error code. I think you remember my topic for this some weeks/months ago.

Due to this, I didn't do further tests/usages with DSL.

But hopefully, it will work someday.
I always check the change logs.
