right, if you are trying to copy the image directly to a fat16 (windows format) floppy disk, you might run out of room because the fat16 fs takes u= p some space on the disk. Also, the disks might be bad and be covered with ba= d sectors that you can't use. Make sure you are doing it the right way and tr= y some other disks too. The last time I installed, I had to boot from floppy and went through about 4 or 5 disks before I had enough good ones.
