I just had a thought,, what if you zipped them, or used some other compression?
As
one large compressed file, sector size wouldn't matter anymore. Even
uncompressed,
if they were appended to each other, they'd use entire sectors too, except for
the last
file. You could expand them to the user's harddrive for faster and more reliable
access
at install time.
