Re: [gnu.org #215211] Missing file?

So, I wrote the gnu webmaster because I could't find the parted root images.

So, I tried this already, and the unzipped file is 3.9M.  So, it can't 
possibly have been intended to fit on a floppy disk.  The boot disk 
image in ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/bootdisk/ does not appear to 
support CD-ROM drives, so it seems illogical that the file was intended 
to fit on a CD-ROM. 

Is there any possibility that this is the wrong file?  

Where can I find the right root image?


Thanks.
