- I boot from a diskette, myself. None of them new-fangled, fancy hard

- Actually, for quite a while there have been warnings against using
- Shoelace, since it doesn't work very well with newer Linux kernels
- (there have been problems with too big kernels, at least, I think).

- version was recently announced.

- lazy to install anything new on my system for weeks.)
