I'm using the 4.3 CD's I received in the mail,
and 2 freshly formatted 1.4 meg floppies.
Here's a copy/paste of the command and return:
C:\>d:\tools\fdimage d:\floppies\kern.flp a:
d:\floppies\kern.flp - File is too big
Here's the state of the floppy:
C:\>chkdsk a:
Volume Serial Number is 18F3-152E
1,457,664 bytes total disk space
1,457,664 bytes available on disk
512 bytes in each allocation unit
2,847 total allocation units on disk
2,847 available allocation units on disk
655,360 total bytes memory
573,856 bytes free
So, I'm using the right tool, fdimage.exe from
the CD, the right image, d:\floppies\kern.flp,
but it still won't fit. What gives? Is there a
problem with the distribution? I did search the
archives, but the closest just talked about not
downloading in binary mode. However I'm not
downloading, I'm getting it off the CD.
I also tried copying fdimage.exe, kern.flp and
mfsroot.flp to the same temp directory on drive
C: and running fdimage from there without paths,
but I get the same results.
Cla.
