>> I don't know what the iu exe floppies are, ...

The IU exe floppies are the 2 newest replacements of the
intallation floppies !

The first floppy, called the Installation Diskette" still
remains the same but Diskette 1 and Diskette 2 shall be
replaced with the one from the IU exe ;-))

One more explantation to the IU exe files:
They were supposed to be for the Thinkpads but can be
used for other systems too, of course !
