I just noticed something while trying to copy the 0.91 packages onto
1.44M disks using Dan's *optimal* scheme.  Under Linux, df shows that
a blank 1.44M floppy has 1423K free.  So, under Linux, there is not
enough room fill the util 2 disk using Dan's scheme (it requires
1446K).  Is it possible to fit the files on one disk using the Linux
msdos file system?

BTW, MS-DOS chkdsk reports that a blank 1.44M floppy has 1457664 bytes
free, so perhaps it is possible using (shudder) DOS.

Please let me know if I am overlooking something.  I *am* only human. ;)
