Cool!

I run NetBSD on my PC clone and my Amiga 3000.  I boot the Amiga install
from floppies.  If you guys (Wasabi) can, please include the Amiga boot
disks and disk-generating utility on your CD-ROM.  Thanks!

Also, are you guys (Wasabi) working on an install front-end of any sort
--- maybe akin to the Slackware Linux (boo-hiss) stuff?  I was wondering 
whether the default shell on the install floppies supports ANSI 
color/positioning control code.  If so, a fairly generic, but slick and
colorful, install script could be created to work on all supported
platforms.
