This way you would end up with MS-DOS formatted floppies, one 
containing the file mfsroot.flp, the other containing file 
kern.flp. This is no good.

What you want to do is to download the two .flp files to the same 
location where you put the fdimage.exe file. If you save them "on 
desktop", they are actually in folder c:\windows\desktop for win9x 
type of systems, or in c:\winnt\profiles\<your_user_name>\desktop 
for winnt/2k/xp systems.

Then open the command prompt from Start menu and issue the 
following commands:

cd \windows\desktop
(insert first floppy)
fdimage kern.flp a:
(insert second floppy)
fdimage mfsroot.flp a:
