The easiest thing which is sure to work is to copy the 5.25 inch disks
onto 3.5 inch media.  They are just a tar of a bunch of files.  You
can do this with everything except for a boot disk.  Fortunately, a
3.5 inch disk holds more than a 5.25 inch disk.  Otherwise, the
problem would be harder (but still doable).

It you didn't have to worry about the N disks (I think that has
something to do with the link kit), you could use "custom -m ..."
