Package: dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/rescue.bin
Version: current
When trying to download the i386 current version -1.440Mb Rescue disk I
get the following error message:" Warning the file you are trying to
download is larger that the destination media will support." (Sic).
However, the floppy I am using is rated at 1.45+Mb.
Perhaps there are 11 pounds of sand in a 10 pound bag?
Regards,
Robert L. Sullivan

That is incorrect. Please read the top-level README, where it
instructs:
dd of=/dev/fd0 if=<file> bs=1024
Or, from DOS, use rawrite2.
Closing this bug.
