I can't write ftp's images into floppy (not enough space)
I'm trying to create a set of floppies to install the Slackware distribution. The problem is I can't copy the 1'47 mb images into the 1'45 floppy. There's no room enough, so how can I do it?

Copying the image to a floppy isn't going to work even if you could get it on there... I'm assuming thats what you are trying to do..... Try this...
dd if=image.iso of=/dev/fd0 It will fit that way. It will also be bootable that way as well... :-) |
Thanks for your answer, but I don't really understand your answer :(. The instruction you wrote has to be done under Linux? I'm trying to make the floppies under Windows.

You need to use the rawrite.exe program to 'burn' the floppies
Rawrite is available in the main Slackware directory. It's usually best to copy the floppy image to the top level directory since rawrite doesn't like spaces in the names. So copy split.1, etc. or (boot.img if it's the boot floppy image) to C:\ Copy rawrite there also. Then, open a DOS window and type rawrite It will then prompt you for the source file name, type the name of the image and <ENTER>. rawrite will then ask for the destination drive, type A: the floppy image will be burned to the floppy. |
