That would be me. I did also mention using a parallel port zip drive in my
email, and recommended finding someone with one so that it could be
borrowed. I also mentioned that the floppy method could be done with only
two floppies (one .cab at a time), albeit longer. After all, not everyone
has access to a floppy drive, and many people want to set up their libretto
with what they have, and not have to go out and buy stuff.
The floppy method, as I described earlier, only requires a libretto floppy
drive. And most libretto users have that, not a whole lot have no floppy
drive.
Whenever I setup a system, I like to create a second partition (using
partition manager and partition resizer to prevent everything else on the
system from getting nuked) and put everything on the win95 / win98 folder
of my windows cd there so that if my drive get's foobared, I just type in
"format c: /q /s" then "d:\setup". Makes reinstallation a snap. :)
