*cough* Hey, Chris...you DO know you're on the Mandrake
mailing list, NOT the RedHat mailing list, right? I mean
there IS a difference... :-)
That being said, I would try re-making that floppy. It may
be bad. If you're creating it with dd, you should see a
certain number of records in and out. Make sure they match!
Otherwise, it's a bad floppy. If you're making this with
RedHat's Rawrite for Windows, it should (I think) tell you
if it's a bad floppy, or at least that the disk creation
failed.
