A few years ago, I used a Mac to copy the contents of a double-density boot
floppy (plus some extra drivers that didn't previously fit) onto a
high-density floppy and then read that into a Linux box to make a System
6.0.1 bootable CD (don't have a high-density floppy drive for my GS, but I
do have a 4x SCSI CD-ROM drive plugged in).  Since then, I've pulled that
image back off of the CD and booted KEGS with it.
