I just tried yet another floppy, and although it looked like it formatted properly, and I was able to copy a few files to it and read those files from it, I then did the verify thing again: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk> sudo dd if=/dev/fd0 conv=noerror | sum dd: reading `/dev/fd0': Input/output error 16+0 records in 16+0 records out 8192 bytes (8.2 kB) copied, 9.51669 seconds, 0.9 kB/s dd: reading `/dev/fd0': Input/output error 16+0 records in 16+0 records out and on and on and on .... Now it's time to reboot and try Knoppix. -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
