I run LSC 2.01 on my dual-floppy SE: one drive contains the system, LSC
and its directories, and RMaker; the other drive contains the program under
development.  I had to strip the system and LSC directories quite a bit to
make it fit (e.g., I tossed the imagewriter driver and the example program
directories), but it has worked very well for me.

...that is, until the latest (2.13) release of LSC.

The new version of LSC is so much larger that I have no hope of fitting the
system stuff on one disk.  So far, I've just stuck with the 2.01 version, but
I plan to switch to a hard disk sometime soon.

This experience gives me the impression that I'm the only LSC user who
runs from floppies.
