Hello,
I tried copying the Debian base disk files to 
actual floppy disks, and they are too large by
about 30kB. I had to reformat my copy disks
to use 81 tracks, which is risky. I am just now
continuing this process, getting disk write errors... 
A better solution would be to recreate the files
in the smaller size.
Thanks
Zach
