Does this mean that rawrite will not copy the 7.09 Mb file to a floppy ?
How can any program copy such a large file onto a 1.44 mb floppy?
Unless of course it is compressed or something. But even then, a 6:1 compression is not very common for executables and kernel's.
Yes, I've been trying to understand why a Linux book saya that "any" file can be copied.
Thanks very much -o) Hubert Mantel Goodbye, dots... /\\ _\_v
This just means the file does not need to be _exactly_ 1.44 MB in size. You can also write a 800 KB file to a floppy (we need this for our rescue disk). Of course rawrite.exe cannot write a 7 MB file to a 1.44 MB floppy. - 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>>
