The rescue.bin file WILL fit on a floppy, the size you specify is the empty space on a floppy after you created a filesystem on it (overhead) When you rawrite / dd the rescue.bin image to a floppy it overwrites the filesystem, and it WILL fit. Just boot from floppy then. >From DOS/WIN32 rawrite rescue.bin a: >From Unix/Linux dd if=rescue.bin of=/dev/fd0 Mark Janssen Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: mark(at)markjanssen.nl / maniac(at)maniac.nl GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 Web: Maniac.nl Unix-God.[Net|Org] MarkJanssen.[com|net|org|nl] SyConOS.[com|nl]
