Your first problem is that you need to do what ever your browser requires
to save the files instead of viewing them.  In Netscape that means
right clicking and selecting the "Save link as..." option or shift-left
clicking the link.  If you use another browser, you'll have to figure it
out yourself.  The second problem is that you don't want boot.flp since
as you noticed, it won't fit.  As the README.TXT file in the floppies
directory says, you want kern.flp and mfsroot.flp.
