>Description:
Er, still trying to install.  D/L the boot.flp, and ran fdimage boot.flp a:
error returned is: 

boot.flp - File is too big

the file is 1,479,054 bytes, and my floppy is 1,457,664 bytes.

I checked the FTP site - it lists it at 1,47 meg.  Just won't fit on
a 1.44 meg floppy.

I'm running Win95 on a Dell Optiplex GM5166 Pentium 166 machine, with a
Teac floppy, standard floppy controller, etc...

Any ideas?

Will

Try a newer boot.flp image and be sure that if you download 
it using ftp use the 'binary' command before any 'get'.
