FWIW that image uses an old version of grub.  I tried to build
a new floppy image a couple of weeks ago but had no luck.  All
I succeeded in doing was making my laptop unbootable until
I pulled out the Fedora Disk and booted into rescue mode.

I would really appreciate it if someone could update that image.
I really would like to know what went wrong with my attempts. :(

The newer grub versions support a splash screen image and I
wanted to use the feature for the Pinewood Derby Race Timer
software I was writing for our Cub Scout pack. :)
