No problem with disk space but I did have to rename boot-0.8.0.img shorter before rawrite could see it.

trying to do from within dsl.............. but thanks for info....

You don't mention what you are trying to do.
Looking at the FAQ http://damnsmalllinux.org/faq.html#floppy
and using that procedure from within DSL is no problem.

dd if=boot-0.8.0.img of=/dev/fd0
