Not at all.  The two install floppies are 1.44Mb format, the balance are
IBM's 1.8Mb format, but the ute on disk 1 automatically reformats your
disks and then allows the balance of the disk images to be formatted/copied
on the fly.  Quite elegant in fact.  If installing from these disks, a
special device driver is loaded during installation, so the 1.8Mb disks can
be read.  No problem.

AWL> Who said we could afford $10k? 

The fact that you can do so indicates that you can indeed afford it,
regardless of the method employed to raise said sum.

Nothing dubious about 3-fingered Lil's pleasures, I can assure you.  :-)
