Attention !!!
These 'DOS' installs are huge, because they use UMSDOS. (eg they store the

These distributions consist of MANY files, and FAT will waste much space.

NO !!!!
10 Mega_BITS_
10/8=1.25 Mega _BYTE_ /s
This is the theoretical maximum ... then there is overhead, slow
connections .... and here in Austria, they even limit the modem to allow
only 32 Kbyte/s :((
