D/L the boot.flp, and ran fdimage boot.flp a: error returned is: boot.flp - File is too big the file is 1,479,054 bytes, and my floppy is 1,457,664 bytes. I checked the FTP site - it lists it at 1,47 meg. Just won't fit on a 1.44 meg floppy. I'm running Win95 on a Dell Optiplex GM5166 Pentium 166 machine, with a Teac floppy, standard floppy controller, etc... Any ideas?
