There are in fact two things involved here: A bug in mindi and lack of documentation. Before SVN revision 381 (branches) and 382 (trunk),respectively, mindi would delete 1440kb floppy images right after creation. So, this is fixed in mindi 1.0.7. Secondly, mindi may need to be forced to create 1440kb boot and root floppies. For this purpose, ‘FORCE_DUAL_FLOPPIES=no’ needs to be changed to ‘FORCE_DUAL_FLOPPIES=yes’ in mindi (around line 73 or so).
