RE: Debian Boot Floppies

I have tried multiple floppy drives (known good), with multiple disks. I am
thinking I am using the wrong image files. On the Debian CD1, there are
some bin files that the READMEs refer to (root.bin, rescue.bin ... ). Those
are the files I am attempting to copy to Floppy using rawrite and dd.
Again, I have some resources to use in making floppies, and the floppies I
am making with the instructions as I read them are not readable or good.

Frustrated!

Are you sure that the flopppy drive is good? If you've tried making
mulitple floppies and had them all not work, I'd start looking at other
sources of problems.
