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. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
