Re: install image too large for floppy
Yes, this is because these are disk "images", not files to be written to an already formatted
disk. The formatting itself consumes disk space. You can't "copy" these files to the disk.
You must use rawwrite (or some equivalent program). 1,474,560 is indeed the raw
capacity of a 1.44mb floppy.
