There's a little program running around on some BBS which does exactly
what you want, that is it lets you install the game on your hard disk.
It's written in AmigaBasic, and all it does is patch the disk such that
the references to DF0: are changed to DH?:.  This means that you must
put F/A 18 in the root of your hard drive, but besides that it works fine
(you also have to make the two same directories that are on the floppy
on you hard drive).  I don't quite remember the name, since I'm on campus
right now, but it's something like F18-FIX.ARC (not to be confused with
the other "fix" utility which disables codewheel usage).

Hope this helps.
