I've had two people e-mail me about the disc image. One saying it worked for
them, and the other saying it didn't...
The person that got it to work used Norton Diskedit (on DOS I think), but it
took 3 hours (!). The person that couldn't get it to work was using Linux but
I don't know what command he used to write it.
YMMV!
