    For the same reason I had to buy a stack of floppies to install it in the 90’s

      I think you have a little bit of solder flux stuck in your gray beard on the left side… No, other left.

      Weren’t floppy’s relatively rewritable? Why did you have to buy multiple instead of simply trying multiple times?

        Floppies were very rewritable, but the distro wouldn’t fit on a single one.

          See but I’m talking about burning an install CD for Puppy and having it just straight not work and the solution being “just burn another one” like CDs were cheap for a 13 year old.
