Hi list
I am intending to download potato boot floppies. I wanna know what's
necessary for me to be able to use the 2.8 MB images. I have regular 1.4
MB floppies here.
Also, if using the regular 1.44 MB floppies, do I need to download
_all_ the images (*.bin) from
ftp://ftp.at.debian.org/debian
When writing - or trying to, anyway - the images, I get the following:
hp90:/mnt/hd2/data/Tmp/potato # dd of=/dev/fd0 if=base-1.bin bs=1024
dd: /dev/fd0: No space left on device
5+0 records in
4+0 records out
hp90:/mnt/hd2/data/Tmp/potato # cmp /dev/fd0 base-1.bin
cmp: /dev/fd0: I/O error

Hi Mirek, list
Problem is that diskette is unformated :)
I noticed that it worked after having formatted them. Thanks though.
Yes, yes - you don't need any filesystem on it but formatted sectors
are
necessary :(
Oh, well, that's news for me. Why is this though? AFAIK, dd writes

When booting, I get lots of errors about dependencies and when issuing
modprobe ppp or something, I get:

installation, though. What's the problem here?!

That is one of pppd's favorite error messages, and it is almost always

There have been several requests to support these popular RAID devices for

It already does. The standard dialog is through newt (I think). Depending

Marcel had last friday some new potato boot-floppies compiled and
made available at http://pandora.debian.org/~marcel/attic/boot-floppies/
The boot-floppies aren't there anymore...
Does anyone have a copy of them on the net???
