Here are the highlights of my evening:

We have about 200k of space to work with on the floppy.  This is more than
I had expected and should be enough for the internationalized install
program and the .mo file.

I've extracted 175 strings from the install procedure which are likely
to be displayed in a normal install.  I don't think it will take long to
markup the strings in the source files and generate the .po file.

I tried using gettext on one string in the install program, put the .mo
file on the floppy and made sure that the LANG was set appropriately.
The string _WAS_ displayed in french when I booted using the disk (good).
