The image is its own filesystem already so it must be put *raw* onto
the floppy, not as a file on a FAT-formatted floppy as you seem to be
doing.  Download the image onto a hard disk, then copy it to the floppy 
like so:

  cp rescue.bin /dev/fd0

(Make sure the floppy is not mounted at the time!)  This bypasses the
filesystem and goes straight to the device.

Dunno about that.  1440 kilobytes (the size of a 1.44 floppy image) is
less than 1.44 megabytes, for what that's worth.
