Re: [SLE] Why hasn't floopy image in SUSE 10

Google 'rawrite.exe' for windows and run that in a command prompt window. It will do what you ask for. Adam PS Ignore the grumpier members of the mailing list. It is easy to do it when you know the answers but when you have to explain why, it pays to be human. -----Original Message----- From: "David" Subj: Re: [SLE] Why hasn't floopy image in SUSE 10 Date: Mon Oct 24, 2005 10:11 pm Size: 1K To: "suse-linux-e@suse.com" OK, Thanks for your reply. As you say, This floopy boot disk is made in linux. But in my machine, there is no linux environment but only windows. So I still don't know how to make a floopy boot disk in windows environment. Some good advice about it? ======= 2005-10-24 21:06:32 in your mail =======

There are instructions for building boot floppies, in the commercial

package. From /boot/README

"Creating SUSE LINUX 10.0 Boot Disks

----------------------------------

The boot files are split across several floppy disks.

To create boot disks, run 'mkbootdisk' (the program is in this directory) on

a Linux system:

1. Mount CD1 or DVD (e.g. to /media/cdrom).

2. Run

/media/cdrom/boot/mkbootdisk /media/cdrom

to create boot disk image files bootdisk1 - bootdiskN.

3. Write these image files to floppies, using e.g.

dd if=bootdisk1 of=/dev/fd0

(and bootdisk2 - bootdiskN accordingly).

4. A short usage summary of 'mkbootdisk' gives

mkbootdisk --help"
