I ran into the problem with a "quick" formatted floppy. Make sure to do
a full format of the floppy and see if that works. A quick format saves
"unformat" info which takes up space on the floppy.

| 2488.2 | it really doesn't fit | BACHUS::ROELANDTS | Wa d'es ma da ve ne stuut | Mon Jul 10 1995 06:46 | 14 |

Hello,
The floppies I'm trying to use are new ones and I formatted them
without the /Q (for quick format) and I'm getting 1,457,664 bytes
free on all the floppies and a dir from disk2 show 1,495,437 bytes.
So I really think it won't fit on it.
Regards.

| 2488.3 | Size is barely OK on master | NAC::FORREST | | Thu Jul 13 1995 20:24 | 6 |
| The file size total on the master diskette is 1,457,194 bytes looking
at it with File Manager. If I look at the network directory, it is also
1,457,194 bytes. Is something happening in the copy process to increase
the size of the files?

| 2488.4 | And "disk.id" ? | MXOC00::CSILVA | | Mon Jul 17 1995 23:43 | 13 |

Hello Jack!!
OK, the size of the file is exactly the capacity of a HD 3 1/2" disk.
But there's also a "disk.id" file that the installer needs to recognize
the disk as number 2.
I have the same problem at installation, at this moment trying to cheat
the installer copying all the binary files somewhere in the hard disk and
replacing disk.id in File Manager as the installer ask for a new disk.

| 2488.5 | It works now | BACHUS::ROELANDTS | Wa d'es ma da ve ne stuut | Wed Jul 19 1995 12:49 | 13 |

Hello,
I copied again the files with an exchange/network command instead of a
copy the I FTP'd it to my PC and I get the exact number of bytes I'm
having on my floppy.
Sorry to have disturbed for this.
Regards.

| 2488.6 | size I gave included the disk.id file | NAC::FORREST | | Thu Jul 20 1995 14:18 | 7 |
| re .4 - If I did not make it clear in my first note, the "total" size
of "all" files in the DISK2 network directory is exactly the same as
on the master diskette from which they were copied. In both cases, the
total number of bytes is just slightly less than the number of bytes on a
freshly formatted diskette.
