Dear all 386BSD experters:
I had a foolish question: for those distribution files (bin01.hh
etc01.hh, and src01.hh), how can you download them onto floppies?

I have a 486 machine which does not have any model, network, tape
devices, just only floppies, so I must download files via my
work-station account, then download again to the PC in my department,
I must copy them onto flooppies and bring these floppies to home,
then I must try to cpio them onto my machine.
now, how can I transfer these XXX01.hh onto floppies? use `voldump' ?
no, this is not a DOS batch file, 
it is only one possible way, copy them by DOS's COPY? XCOPY? or PCShell?
just use binary copy onto a MSDOS formatted floppies?

Perhaps INSTALL.NOTE is not clear for such situation, can you enlight
me?
thanks, best regards,
Anthony Li
