If you ever redo BL3 2-floppy, you could put the modules on disk 1 and the 
man pages on disk 2 to make disk1 more useful as a single disk linux.

Probably yes.  I could not get the internal modem on that computer to go 
online so I went in the other room to do email and have been walking back 
and forth to look at files. (It is a laptop but not all that portable 
since the internal keyboard is dead and we still have not found half the 
screws it needs and used laptops always have dead batteries - we get these 
as basket cases.  I am using it just to experiment with 8MB RAM).

If you are not too busy I would be very interested to get a general idea 
of how you made the disk images for BL3.
