I have just recently started getting the necessary items to perform an
installation of the 386BSD package.  I have read the installation notes,
and even have created  a distribution and fixit floppies.

Now on the agate distribution site I note that there are the dirs containing
the rest of the installable stuff in a number of file.  For example, there
are 56 bin01 files.  

Now I am stuck.  I can download the distribution files to my connected UNIX
system but how do I get them on a floppy for installation purposes?

My 386BSD system is NOT connected to the network.  I'd like to have the
floppies in case reinstallation is necessary for some reson or to install
on another system of mine.

Help really appreciated as the documentation in the install notes are not
to clear.

Mike
