Hmm, this is going to annoy me...

I just investigated our incoming directory:

Now I wonder which script creates these images?

These calls create properly padded images:

       $(MAKE) driverscompact.tgz
       $(MAKE) driverside.tgz
       $(MAKE) driversidepci.tgz
       $(MAKE) drivers.tgz

The latter creates drv*.bin which will be copied from rescue.sh:

  for f in drv14*.bin; do
    [ ! -f $f ] || mv $f images-1.44/driver${f#drv14}
  done

Oh, as a sidenote, 1.2MB floppies are sized properly:

-rw-r--r-- root/staff  1228800 2001-04-14 20:59:38 images-1.20/driver-5.bin

Folks, I need a Sherlock here...  Where the hell does the file get
truncated again?
