Thank you for the help....i tried using RAWRITE on a pc, but i kept getting an error on the boot.img. the file is 1.40 MG, but it wont fit on a 1.44 floppy....at this time, i dont have access to a linux box with a floppy, but that will change in a couple of days...does anyone have any ideas as to the boot.img size, as i think i will seee the same problem once i get access to my linux box with a floppy drive....Thank You Shyamal Prasad wrote: > "bluesbravo" == bluesbravo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > bluesbravo> dd if=file of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync > > bluesbravo> above is the instruction from the install manual; the > bluesbravo> floppy drive on my fedora is /mnt/floppy, which i used > bluesbravo> instead of /dev/fd0...however, that command didnt work > bluesbravo> - the error message said 'floppy is a > bluesbravo> directory'.....(please keep in mind that i am a linux > bluesbravo> novice) > > /mnt/floppy *is* a directory - it is where the floppy drive typically > gets mounted when you use it 'normally'. > > You want to raw floppy *device*.
