The problem is probably that the '.img' extention for the floppy image files confuses some browsers.

I just changed them to .bin
so if you try again you will probably get the files ok ( they are both less than 1.44MB )

> 4.  Is it possible to setup rda on win2k
rda client will only run on linux, but rda server can be ported to win32 in order to have something like:
 - boot source machine with linux and rda client
 - get data on a windows with rda server 
 - ready to analyse

the main reason for a win32 rda server is that linux cant write safely on an NTFS, so
if you get a big image you are forced to use 'span' cuz of the fat32 max file size limit.

I already wrote a test version of rda server for win32, but i dont think it'll be ready before summer vac.. :)

P.S. i just changed the extention and didnt check how every browser reacts..
  -  in case problems continue please let me know.
