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
rawrite.exe or `dd' under UNIX (again, please see the installation docs
[in INSTALL.TXT] for details). Also note that the rawrite.exe program
ONLY WORKS UNDER DOS. If you're running Win95, boot into DOS mode before
running it. If you're running NT, use a different machine to make your
boot floppy. Both Win95 and WinNT interfere with rawrite's abiltiy to
talk directly to the floppy drive.
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? :-).
