You say about downloading a disk, I presume that you mean boot.flp ?
You *cannot* put the boot.flp onto one disk, using the "normal" method.
The boot.flp file has to be raw-written onto the disk using a program =
called FDIMAGE.EXE,
this file can be downloaded off the ftp servers, in the same directory =
as fdimage.exe, If I am not very much mistaken.

Your claim about downloading Free BSD on one 1.44 floppy disk is the =
same claim
made about Linux and Slackware. Supposedly easy well it doesn't =
work period,
nada, anything else you care to call it. Do you have any =
suggestions. My disk
says it is formatted 1.457Mb. So tell me the problem.
