Thanks a lot, Jason and Frank, for fixing this so quickly! I will try
out the new image in the next minutes. However, I believe, that there
may be a
mv ${IMAGE}.tmp ${IMAGE}
missing at the end of the ${PAD} specific part in
"basesrc/distrib/i386/floppies/bootfloppy-common/Makefile.inc" (at least
in the 1.5 release branch, I haven't checked the trunk). Otherwise the
unpadded image will be used for 'make release' even if PAD=yes.
Cheers
