a) the format is not "zip" ... it is "gzipped tar" b) you need to be able to edit textfiles with LF newlines... you should be able to use Cygwin for this. c) I am pretty sure you have to use compression level "9" when re-compressing... use cygwin's gzip.

I think this is unlikely... much more likely is that the ramdisk or floppy has insufficient free space or you are trying to backup while the disk is mounted. If you can read the oversize disk, you should be able to write to it. > > Chris > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris Cranford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 2:51 AM > Subject: [leaf-user] Floppy Image Problems > > > > I have downloaded the v1.0 stable windows executable file and ran it on a > > windows machine to format and copy the necessary LRP packages to a floppy > > disk.
