	First, it should be well known by now that not all versions of
	DISKCOPY are capable of reliably copying a UNIX diskette. Second,
	one should NEVER attempt to copy such a precious diskette without
	write-protecting the original.

	In my case, I still had 2.0.2 installed, and thus used sysadm to
	generate my copy. Installation went without a hitch, though I did
	not approve of the 4,000 block lower limit on swap space. (We run
	very tight, but don't run many processes, thus needed the space 
	for user space.)
