Is this a problem? It doesn't really matter, so long as all the files are there, in order, and each is in the appropriate directory on the floppy. eg the first bin floppy should have bin/bin.aa bin/bin.ab ... and a mixed bin/des floppy should have bin/bin.xy bin/bin.xz des/des.aa ... > also, on the alternate virtual terminal, I saw debug messages > referring to 'mumble.inf'.

In any case, I'd expect them to be plain text files, so it shouldn't be too hard to have a look inside them and see what's going on.
