Correct. There is a bug surrounding the disk image, but it isn't
related to Elysium. It concerns your browser. I tried downloading the
disk image using Netscape Navigator, and it stripped the .gz extension
from the filename, but didn't automatically (as I'd expect) unzip the
file. Go figure. Try gunzip'ing the file and rewriting it to the
floppy. Works for me! :)

Regards,
Jakob.
