This may be a spanish language site

But there is a download for a one floppy disk for people
like me who can't boot off of a CD

But the download is too large for one floppy, making the
whole thing totally useless

This is very Frustrating

There is also a site to get on line support.

It requires that one entes the product ID. But there is
not enough space for the product ID, making the whole
thing totall useless.

This all seems very strange. Why are these things
happening?


Help
