GTA has already dismissed
the hard drive idea. The
two-floppy notion is good,
but ironically would
probably complicate the
installer more than
implementing a hard drive
option, since you wouldn't
want to mandate a two-
floppy setup for the many
(perhaps the majority of)
configurations that could
fit on one diskette.
