The FDVOL, WrtDsk or RaWrite3 programs can be used under MS-DOS
|
|
to copy images to floppies. The FIPS 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!
|
|
|
|
FDVOL is the preferred utility to make Minix floppy images, WrtDsk and
|
|
RaWrite3 are provided as alternates just in case. (Writing floppies raw is
|
|
a tricky thing under DOS.)
|
|
|
|
The four utilities are in the files fdvol.exe, wrtdsk90.zip, rawrite3.zip, and
|
|
fips15.zip together with their documentation, except for FDVOL, but its
|
|
use is simple:
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
