I can't figure out how to install the floppy version of SS on DOSBox. The problem is, the installer checks for floppy labels and I don't know how to change this on the fly. Any hints how to run this?

As of DOSBox 0.73, the best way I know of doing this is to use Virtual Floppy Drive to mount an image of each installation floppy. When the installer asks you for a new floppy, switch images using Virtual Floppy Drive and rescan in DOSBox by pressing CTRL-F4.

A much easier solution would be to look for a download for the preconfigured version of System Shock, but we can't talk about that here...
