I have tried several times to download the boot.flp file to make a boot disk with fdimage. I end up with a file that is 1.47 meg, which doesn't fit on a 1.44 meg floppy. fdimage simply reports that the file is too large. After looking at the ftp site, it looks like the file is just too large - it is listed at greater that 1.44 meg on the FTP site. I am downloading the file with Netscape FTP. Am I getting the wrong file? I run a Dell Optiplex 5166 Pentium 166 with a Teac 1.44 floppy drive. Thanks in advance! Will England william.england@boeing.com
