However, the floppy I am using is rated at 1.45+Mb. The image is its own filesystem already so it must be put *raw* onto the floppy, not as a file on a FAT-formatted floppy as you seem to be doing. Download the image onto a hard disk, then copy it to the floppy like so: cp rescue.bin /dev/fd0 (Make sure the floppy is not mounted at the time!) This bypasses the filesystem and goes straight to the device. > Perhaps there are 11 pounds of sand in a 10 pound bag? Dunno about that. 1440 kilobytes (the size of a 1.44 floppy image) is less than 1.44 megabytes, for what that's worth.
