[SLUG] LODS

[Gregg <gsuaning@nospam.acay.com.au>]

Dear All,

I'm trying to resurrect some old 386s at my son's school - hoping to use
them as single floppy X terminals using LODS with VNC.

Downloaded the floppy image (lods.img) from the LODS site:
http://home.rochester.rr.com/specht/lods/index.html
but am having great difficulty writing the floppy image to a disk.

Tried:

dd if=PATH_AND_NAME_OF_IMAGE_FILE of=/dev/fd0

Things hum for a while then Linux says I'm out of disk space (or
something like that - can't recall the exact message).

Then tried rawrite.exe on a DOS machine and it gives me a 'bad sector'
error.

Swapped machines, so it isn't hardware, swapped floppy disks so I doubt
it's that either. Thought there might have been a download error so I
downloaded the file again - same deal when trying to write.

This is supposed to be a floppy image - any ideas why it won't write to
a floppy?

Anyone else using or used LODS? Curious to hear your experience.

Thanks,

Gregg
