I don't know if I will look into the install floppy bug, I might leave some
work for someone else to do :)

My goal is to have as little hacks as possible and use sorcery tools and
functions where possible, so a custom grimoire isn't appealling to me.
I would rather get scribe to fully utilise INSTALL_ROOT and then when it is
ready, use sorcery to install the caches, rerun the init.d/xinetd queries and
run POST_INSTALL.
