	I wouldn't mind installing from 2 or three floppies.  I think if
it has advantages, it's a good idea.
	There have been times when, for one reason or another, CD and
network installs were giving me problems, and I said 'screw it' and made 7
floppies from a neighboring DOS machine and installed from them.  For a
single machine it is relatively painless.
