theweaselkingWhy, in this day and age, am I AGAIN forced to resort to 3.5" floppy disks, including digging up, installing, and plugging in a 3.5" drive, on my wonderful new server machine[1]?
Boot from CD! Boot from USB key! Hell, the machine was up and on the network ten minutes ago. Give me a way to just *write the install information into the perfectly good HDD* while the machine is connected to the Vast Interweb! What the hell do you mean I can download a program to make floppies from your website, but I can't just download a program I can RUN to make the changes without one!
Bah! Bah I say!
([1]: Because the server doesn't boot from CD or USB, that's why. It's "new" only in the "was not a server before now" sense)
