Re: "test" boot-floppies for slink, does rawrite2 still work?



I agree.  I find it very disappointing that the floppies don't fit in the
standard 1.44mb.  I believe every other distribution can do it.  I know
RedHat uses a 'supplemental' floppy, and AFAIC, that's much better for
most people than trying to get it to work on the larger floppies.

If it's not too much work for the maintainer, there could be two versions,
the larger of which could be in a 'special' directory, or somesuch, so
that those that find it useful could use the larger rescue images.

My 2 pfennigs...
