I'm getting ready to do an install on my LX with 32MB RAM and a
CDROM tonight (it's not in front of me right now, or I'd be
wasting time playing with it instead of working :) and I'm a bit
curious about the floppy images.

Since I couldn't find a SPARC-bootable ISO image (anyone know of
a spot I might have missed?) I'm ready to go through the floppy
method, but there are two floppy images on the CD.  boot-141 and
syboot-1 are the names I see on my filesystem-crippled NT box.
The install README doesn't seem to address the differences
between them, and there are no text files in the same directory
with any useful descriptions.  Can someone give me a precis so I
know which one to use?  I don't have Windoze/DOS at home, so I'll
have to make copies of both here to try out there otherwise...

I presume that they are SPARC-readable filesystems, because they
sure won't mount on my NT box. :-)
