-	      <para>Did you use a new, freshly-formatted, error-free
-		floppy (preferably a brand-new one straight out of the
-		box, as opposed to the magazine cover disk that has been
-		lying under the bed for the last three years)?</para>

-	      <para>Did you download the floppy image in binary (or

-		operating systems can interfere with programs that write
-		directly to hardware, which the disk creation program
-		does; even running it inside a DOS shell in the GUI can
