The actual size of a floppy is 1440KB (1440*1024 bytes), which is not 1.38MB by any normal definition of MB. I would guess you're trying to copy it to a DOS formatted floppy rather than doing an image copy with dd(1) or a similar program. I'm not sure why you sent this to -doc either, -questions would probably seem more appropriate. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
