jkh 21501b44ab Back out the changes to set the resolver timeout. All they seem to do is _break_ dns lookups entirely, and since reading the relevant docs and source code does not enlighten for now, I'll remove this until more basic research has been done into controlling the resolver's timeout values.		1997-08-01 04:41:38 +00:00

README.TXT

For a normal CDROM or network installation, all you need to copy onto an
actual floppy from this directory is the boot.flp image (for 1.44MB floppies).

NOTE: These images are NOT DOS files!  You cannot simply copy them to
a DOS floppy as regular files, you need to *image* copy them to the
floppy with fdimage.exe under DOS or `dd' under UNIX.

For example:

To create the boot floppy image from DOS, you'd do something like
this:

C> fdimage boot.flp a:

Assuming that you'd copied fdimage.exe and boot.flp into a directory
somewhere.  If you were doing this from the base of a CD distribution,
then the *exact* command would be:

E> tools\fdimage floppies\boot.flp a:


If you're creating the boot floppy from a UNIX machine, you may find
that:

        dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0

or

        dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/floppy

work well, depending on your hardware and operating system environment
(different versions of UNIX have totally different names for the
floppy drive - neat, huh? :-).
