"Me too."

I propose removing "bad144" from the i386 installation media.

I find that "bootfloppy" and "bootfloppy-com" *just* *fit* into
2880 KB with 0K padding, after commenting out "bad144" from
"ramdisk-big/list". Does anyone have a better idea? Would anyone
really miss "bad144"?  Is that even enough, or will it just fill
up again in a day or two?
