I am not going to comment on the large topic : should we have USB zip drives or not.
I am going to mention that we have sometimes problems updating machines that have an USB zip drive attached to them. Last year I submitted a fix, worked in by Bob and me, and that fix was never released (it is in the .dev of sun4x_58/install-9.1/miniroot but
not in dev of sun4x_58/install-9.1/miniroot and not in athena). Now that we (Greg and I) decided to updated 9.1 machines using a solaris8 miniroot and latter 9.2 machines using a solaris9 miniroot.. the fix for setup-swap-boot is :
rcsdiff -r1.4 -r1.3 setup-swap-boot
