To squeeze new stuff onto onto the very full boot floppies, occasionally

some drivers for ancient devices must die.  To modify one of my favorite
quotes into this particular context:

    The total amount of suffering per year [on a boot floppy] is beyond
    all decent contemplation.  During the minute that it takes me to
    compose this sentence, [a few device drivers] are being [deleted],
    many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others
    are being slowly devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands
    of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst and disease.  It must be
    so.  If there is ever a time of [sufficient space], this very fact will
    automatically lead to an increase in [driver] population until the
    natural state of starvation and misery is restored.
       - cribbed from Richard Dawkins "God's Utility Function",
                      Scientific American, November 1995

Of course, these drivers remain on the CD boot media, so there is a
solution for the truly desperate legacy addicts.
