The boot-floppies package contains all scripts used to build boot floppies.

What's wrong with base14-3.bin ? It's been on the FTP site for at least
a month with no other complaint.

Is that what you are doing, Yigal? You should be using

	base12-1.bin base12-2.bin base12-3.bin base12-4.bin

if you have a 1.2 MB floppy, and

	base14-1.bin base14-2.bin base14-3.bin

if you have a 1.44 MB floppy.
