These days USB flash drives can be used even on <A rel="nofollow" href="http://toastytech.com/files/cruzerwin95.html" linkindex="103">95, NT 4, and DOS</A>, but there is nothing quite like having software physically at your fingertips. To that end I printed up some 3.5" floppy disk labels and created a setup self extractor using Winzip to span the install file across the disks. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/28915"><P align="baseline">It took only 5 1.44 meg floppy disks! Compared to some software that I have had to install from dozens of floppy disks, Firefox is downright tiny. I probably could have gotten it down to 4 disks if I had formatted them using DMF (1.6 megs). </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/28915"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.spreadfirefox.com/img/5033C741-667A-49C4-A151-C8BBF25B263B" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/28915"><P>Awesome,  but what if I encounter a PC/AT with only a 5.25" 1.2 meg drive?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/28915"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.spreadfirefox.com/img/CAD2C0A2-D108-45B9-A314-540F1CD87FF0" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/28915"><P>Well, for some sick reason I actually have a 5.25" 1.2 meg drive in my machine so I used the same self extracting setup on these disks.
