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

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
