I have a old PC with floppy drive and 1GB hard drive without CD. I looked the web instruction for instruction to install the OS I formatted a floppy disk with size /A:1.44 and try to copy kern.flp onto the floppy. Since the floppy has only 1.38MB of free space (even though I formatted with size for 1.44MB) I can not really copy the file over to the floppy. I am therefore stucked. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks, PC Wang
