It hardly sounds stupid. The question has come up before..
Basically by taking full advantage of some feature not usually used in
floppy drives you can fit more data (1.722MB) of information. You'll
observe that the file you're talking about is 1.8MB. As was pointed out
before this is most likely because of the gzip and tar compression which
puts a header and other data on the file. > >
