I want to thank people who responded to my question about "boot.flp" being too large to fit on a floppy when using fdimage to create an install floppy. However, boot.flp is still too large. I really do think I am downloading the file as binary. I am using Netscape Communicator 4.06, right-clicking on the boot.flp file and saving it as a file. However, it gets saved just a bit larger than the floppy size so fdimage won't work. I have used the same method to download other binary files, such as QuickTime from the Apple Site (also an ftp:// link) and after downloading the executable runs just fine and QuickTime installs on the NT machine I am using. I even tried changing the name of boot.flp to boot.exe (and then renaming it back to boot.flp after downloading) just in case the extension was somehow causing Netscape's FTP protocol to not download the file as binary. My question is - are you *really sure* that the current boot.flp is not too large? The file size appears to be 1,479,365 bytes. What should it be if I downloaded it correctly?
