Well an I/O error on a disk is never a good thing .... what you might want to do is try mounting the disk and see how much disk space you have. To mount it do one of the following depending on disk size:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (for a standard 1.44 MB floppy) mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt (for a 1.68 MB floppy) mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1743 /mnt (for a 1.743 MB floppy) then run df at the prompt. If you are using 100% of your floppy that could cause an error. Also it is possible that the disk is not being mounted properly (i.e. it is a 1.68 MB floppy and is being mounted as 1.44), or that the disk has a bad sector on it (possible but if you are getting the same error on 4 different floppies it may not be the case), or that there is something amiss with your drive. A good way to test if it is your drive is to make a copy of the disk and then try booting your regular system (don't worry about the multiple errors you get), then try modifying the package. If that works then you know something weird is going on with your floppy drive in the LEAF box, and should replace it. At $20 (CDN) it shouldn't be a huge issue.
