Hi

Is rawwrite2 the right file for 1.44 floppies?  I seem to recall that it is
for another sized floppy.  If your going to write a floppy under Windows and
a screen reader you'd be better to get yourself a copy of rawwritwin.exe
Sorry, can't find the URL the readme and other docs don't provide the URL
but I found it by going to google and searching for rawwrite for windows.

You might find it easier to start the install by using loadlin from a
directory.

I have "rawrite2.exe" in my "c:\linux" directory. I typed "rawrite2" at the
"c:\linux" prompt after exiting to the DOS promtpt from Windows 98 Second
Edition shutdown. I was asked for the ISO file and target disk. After
formatting my 3.5 inch floppy,  I got a message that the image is been
writen to drive A. I then get :Address mark not found". What does this mean?
will this boot disk allow me to run Speakup and install the Debian ISO file?

Love you Lots,
