An user wrote me that. A true pearl. I cannot stop to laugh, because
I think this is a very valuable piece of humor.
If the great Woody Allen sometimes will try to install muLinux :-),
it surely will write me an email like that!

And also,... why do you insist on
trying to use 1722k floppies for the floppy install ? Maybe
1722k is a European standard for floppies, but here in the
U.S. 1440k is the largest we can format to. I have tried with
several different floppies which I know to be good under
DOS, but all I get is files that are overwritten and unusable
when trying to format 1440k disks to 1722k. You know, there
are file splitting utilities for Win3.1 that could maybe be used to
place the 1722k of info from 1 disk onto 2 1440k disks. There
are even batch files made to re-assemble them from. All it would
require is writing a prompt into the install program to "insert install
disk #2 now", or something similar.
