You can always just distribute the Disinfectant init on the floppy containing
the min system folder - it's about 6k.  If they start up with it installed
on that, they're protected.  The application can be distributed on another
floppy, in case they want to scan.  (Not real convenient with only one drive,
but that can't be helped...)  If they have a hard drive, just give them the
App, and have them install the init with that.
