Hello, I've found out from several Linux books that rawrite "will write any size file to a floppy 1.44 Mb disc.
This being the case I have downloaded the 2.0.36 kernel and tried to get to to write to a floppy. I get the error message "Bad sector detected: 1" with every floppy disc that I try.
Does this mean that rawrite will not copy the 7.09 Mb file to a floppy ?
I would download from the internet directly on to my Linux box but it refuses to detect the modem, neither will it detect my Genius LAN card. I think some other hardware is required.
Happy New Year.

I may be mistaken in this but there is no way you can put any kind of a file on any kind of a disk if it exceeds the disks capacity . I can only assume that rawrite doesn't do disk spanning either. as far as the NIC not being detected, I had a problem with a SN-3200 pci NIC that would not detect. It had the REALTEK chip on it. Once i selected NE2000 PCI compatible iI was in business. Maybe you can give that a try. ttyl J-L jlboers@usa.net On Sat, 02 Jan 1999, you wrote: - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
