[comp.sys.mac.misc] System 7.0 from ftp.apple.com

Forgive me if this seems like a stupid question to some of you -- just call
me ingnorant. :-)
How do I use the System 7 downloads from ftp.apple.com?  From what I can
tell, they seem to be "images" (.image files) of 800k disks, but when I
try to put one on an 800k floppy, I get the "not enough room" message!  It
says the floppy is 40k short!  What's up?  What do I do?
Thanks!

(I just noticed that that was posted with the name "MC68040"!  How the H*ll
did that happen?)
Thanks to all the people who replied to my question!  There were a lot of
you, so I don't really feel like replying to ALL of you, so here's a general
"thanks a bunch, guys"!
For you who are asking yourselves the same question (I had one person ask
me for the replies I got, and I know there are "lurkers" out there), you
need the DiskCopy (4.1 or 4.2), available at ftp.apple.com in the /dts/utils
directory.  Or, you can use the MountImage CDEV from sumex-aim, which mounts
the image to the DeskTop without having to copy it to a floppy.
Thanks again!
