Create a boot disk
 

Hello,

I want to create a boot disk to install slackware 10.2.
I try the two command : dd if=bare.i of=/dev/fd0 and cat bare.i > /dev/fd0 and for each command, I get an input/output error message.
There isn't any problems if I create standard install.1, install.2 or
network.dsk floppies by using these commands. Only bare.i seems to be a problem.

In fact, I get an input/output error message when I try to access to all files of the 'bootdisks' directory. Any ideas ? (I can't boot directly from a cd)

Hi,

Did you md5sum your iso? Could be a problem with the download since you can dd the install.1 and 2.

Hi,

Indeed, the original md5sum and the calculated md5sum (result of command md5sum my_iso.iso) don't match. Do I have to download the iso file again? :cry:

Thanks.

yep, something went wrong with the download so you'll have to do it again.
