Trying to dd a FC image into floppies: No space left on device

Hi.

I want to install a FC3 from floppy disks. I downloaded
'diskboot.img' from:
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/...386/os/images/

and tried to copy it into floppy disks, but I get this error message:
[]# dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440
dd: writing `/dev/fd0': No space left on device
1025+0 records in
1024+0 records out

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Some files are copied into the floppy,
but I got that message.Thank you very much

The FC3 kernel is to big to fit on a floppy disk. If lacking a CDROM drive you will need some other boot device like a flash drive.
