The first is that the file you have may have been corupted. It is aesy enough to test by downloading another disk image to try. (It need not even have speakup in the kernel. The point is to test making the disk.) The second thing that I would suspect is that your floppy is bad. Can you format the disk from DOS? (Use "format a: /u") The more I think about your error message, the more I suspect that this is the problem. -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ------------------ Seek simplicity -- and distrust it.
