The <a href="fdvol.exe">FDVOL</a>, <a href="wrtdsk90.zip">WrtDsk</a>
|
|
or <a href="rawrite3.zip">RaWrite3</a>
|
|
programs can be used under MS-DOS to copy images to floppies. The
|
|
<a href="fips15.zip">FIPS</a> utility can be used to shrink an MS-DOS
|
|
partition if the disk of the machine you wish to install Minix contains
|
|
a single MS-DOS partition that covers the entire disk. (As is often
|
|
the case.)
|
|
Note that the task of FIPS is not a trivial one, a million things could
|
|
go wrong. Back up your data first!
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>FDVOL</b> is the preferred utility to make Minix floppy images,
|
|
<b>WrtDsk</b> and <b>RaWrite3</b> are provided as alternates just in case.
|
|
(Writing floppies raw is a tricky thing under DOS.)
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The four utilities are in the files
|
|
<a href="fdvol.exe">fdvol.exe</a>,
|
|
<a href="wrtdsk90.zip">wrtdsk90.zip</a>,
|
|
<a href="rawrite3.zip">rawrite3.zip</a>,
|
|
and <a href="fips15.zip">fips15.zip</a> together with their documentation,
|
|
except for <b>FDVOL</b>, but its use is simple:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
fdvol 1440 A: ROOT USR - Combine ROOT and USR on one floppy
|
|
fdvol 1440 A: SYS.TAZ - Put SYS.TAZ on several floppies
|
|
fdvol 720 A: ROOT - Just ROOT on one 720k floppy
|
|
</pre>
