     @TexJoachim 6.22 is normally 3 disks, sometimes with an optional 4th disk with some extra tools. Those are 1.44mb 3.5" disks, though, and I'm installing off 5.25" 360k disks

     @foone I might be wrong here, but didn't DOS 6.22 come on only three disks?
     Or was it three 3.5 disks and x 5.25 disks?

     @fdboer that happened to me on Windows 95 release day. Disk 2 of 13 was bad

     @foone And it gets really frustrating when disk 16 of 16 reports a fatal read error...

     @bgrinter @NewtonMark only on HD 3.5" floppies!
     If you install off the 360k 5.25" floppies, it's 13.
