Dear List
Can anyone tell me the commands to create a rescue boot floppy on Fedora Core 4.
When I use the following command:
dd if=/media/cdrom/images/diskboot.img of=/dev/fd0
it tells me
dd: writing to `/dev/fd0': No space left on device 2881+0 records in 2880+0 records out
reading around I need to issues the command
/sbin/grub-install /dev/fd0
but this does not install nothing to the disk.
I only have a 8168k disk.
Thanks
Gordon

Fedora hasn't supported being booted from a floppy since FC2, I think... but the first install CD doubles as a rescue disk if you need to re-install GRUB on your HD.
dd if=/media/cdrom/images/diskboot.img of=/dev/fd0

Quite right. If you check the size of diskboot.img, I think you'll find it's about 8MB... floppies are not that big.
