Yes, I am still working on this option. It would be good if we can do 
this from a couple of floppies. I'm working on a test version now. Just 
trying to convince the installer to behave. :)

On the other hand, the 3 disk option also has potential. Perhaps not as 
much for the RULE installer, but it would do a nice job of handling 
updated packages. You could take a group of updates, regenerate the 
hdlists* and install an updated RH fairly painlessly.
