Well, it's been a while, but I think I may have been using Fat32 on that system. The only problem is that it could take some time for me to decide what to take off that Hard drive. I'm actually in no rush and I figure that learning how to use Knoppix for this purpose would probably be useful in the future, if I ever needed to rescue any other files from the same situation. Thanks for the offer, anyway. I appreciate it.--73, Alf KQ4FP. ===================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Ray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 7:24 AM Subject: RE: [TriLUG] Knoppix revisited...again
You're missing my point. I have a DOS-based network boot floppy that will read FAT16 under Win95 and copy at 100BaseTX rates. Once the files are onto a CD, I should be sipping on some microbrew :-) Or, you could use another method... > -----Original Message----- > From: al johson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 10:52 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [TriLUG] Knoppix revisited...again > > > Well the problem is that some of these files are several megs > in size, so there is the problem of getting them on a floppy > disk, hence the reason I'm trying to do this by burning a > CD-R using Knoppix.
