Whenever I try to run fdimage to make an install floppy I get a 
"File too Big" Error.  I look at the file size and see it's about
2k too big to fit on the floppy. (I have a 1.44MB floppy) I've tried
different disks thinking maybe I had bad sectors, but this isn't the case...

 Did you possibly ftp the .flp file, and forget to specify 'binary' instead
 of 'ascii'?

State-Changed-When: Tue Mar 17 01:16:32 PST 1998 
State-Changed-Why:  
boot.flp is not too big.  User is likely using faulty browser 
to download it or is downloading it in ASCII mode rather than 
binary.
