     Since neither of my desktops will read CDs at present, I got a notebook
with CD and floppy drives. They're swappable and can't be used at the same
time, so I downloaded a Linux boot.img to hard drive under w98, then
switched drives and tried to copy that 1.44M to a 1.44M diskette. I have
tried it with two, freshly formatted. I keep getting a message that there
isn't enough space. I assume a DOS-formatted diskette should work. If it
won't I'm out of luck, as this machine won't write to a Linux-formatted
disc. Solution?
