Should be noted in the quickinstall, floppies are not really supported on
Amiga, you have to copy all files on HD and use the floppy _images_ to
install. At least on Atari things wouldn't fit on 720k anyway, so copy
amigainstall.tgz on your harddisk. If you need floppies to transfer, you have
to split the file, there tons of splitters/joiners out there.
You want to tranfer base2_2.tgz also via floppies? Good luck.

Alternatively you could use a CD, I have to burn images on friday anyway (if
Michael has updated the images to my whishes till then ;-)
Want a set?
