Damn I wish I could be there :(
Maybe I can. I'll sure try!

Best format would be MSDOS format sadly, I can help you out with a disk image.

what you should do is put the rpm and the zip on the disk along with a README
on how to install them, I think the .deb package will fit as well.. Since it's
MSDOS format, you need to name them in 8.3 format "OpenVers.rpm" etc.

Once you have one disk made, you can take a disk image of it.

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=OpenVerse.floppy

Once you have a disk image, you can write it to a new disk with this command.

1. Insert new disk.
2. dd if=OpenVerse.floppy of=/dev/fd0
3. wait for the light to go out before you remove the disk!!!!!!!

Labels are key, last time I didn't put the web address one them.. that was a
mistake.
