After the problem below I started thinking I should just download the
iso image. I noticed that the iso images are very small - so small I
almost hate the thought of using a blank CD-R for such a small amount
of data. Could I just download enough files to a 100MB zip disk? What
format would that have to be in? My 6500/300 has both a CD and a
zip. Since I have a working floppy to boot off - it doesn't even need
to be bootable as long as I can find the files.

Apparently when this happens the individual dowload for whatever file
fails, but the installation scripts doesn't cause the script to abort
or to retry the download.
