Re: Viable sarge-floppy-root.img file

Sven,

Thanks for the reply. The error that I get from the Disk Copy 
Applescript 
(ftp://ftp2.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/d/de/debian-imac/MakeDebianFloppy.sit) 
is that <file> is not a valid disk image. Separately, I tried to open 
the image in OSX and it faild there also. I fixed and confirmed the 
file type and creator using ResEdit, but it did not make a difference.

Of note the boot.img file worked perfectly the first time.

best,
Tom
