A simple sanity check is to try mounting the disk image: mount -o loop,ro disk.image /mnt/floppy If it works, the image is probably okay. A better way, if you don't mind a little extra time, is to compute an MD5 checksum of the data on the floppy, and then compare that to an MD5 checksum of the disk image. Something like this: md5sum /dev/fd0 disk.image If the two checksums chance, you're safe. -- Lars -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars at larsshack.org> --> http://www.larsshack.org/ - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
