Anyway I looked in the Suse archives, found reference to the Athlon boot disk, downloaded the file ( 1 hour ten minutes @ 9600).
It's too big to fit on a stiffy ( 1,474, 560 bytes), and it doesn't have an extension. Is this right ??
Yes, it's right that the file has no extension. And the size (exactly 1440 * 1024 bytes) seems to be correct, too. This is not a file that should be stored on a formatted disk as a file, it is an image of the entire disk. In the directory with the image files you can find a README describing what to do. With Linux you can insert an empty floppy disk an simply do cat IMAGE_FILE >/dev/fd0 (which always worked for me) or dd if=IMAGE_FILE of=/dev/fd0u1440 (recommended in the README) to create a bootdisk. If you want to create the bootdisk under DOS you should sue the program rawrite.exe which you can find at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.3/dosutils/rawrite Eilert -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eilert Brinkmann -- Universitaet Bremen -- FB 3, Informatik eilert@informatik.uni-bremen.de - eilert@tzi.org - eilert@linuxfreak.com http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~eilert/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
