I just tried yet another floppy, and although it looked like it
formatted properly, and I was able to copy a few files to it and read
those files from it, I then did the verify thing again:
westk[@westk03]:/home/westk> sudo dd if=/dev/fd0 conv=noerror | sum
dd: reading `/dev/fd0': Input/output error
16+0 records in
16+0 records out
8192 bytes (8.2 kB) copied, 9.51669 seconds, 0.9 kB/s
dd: reading `/dev/fd0': Input/output error
16+0 records in
16+0 records out
and on and on and on ....
Now it's time to reboot and try Knoppix.
