lots of disks from sysinstall. Yay! Please test this as much as possible with any 3.0 SNAP later than 970910 (I.E. tomorrow's snap), especially those of you with larger disk farms. Submitted by: Ed Gold <vegold01@starbase.spd.louisville.edu> |

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? :-).
