The WrtDsk or RaWrite3 program 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.)
|
|
|
|
RaWrite3 may occasionally fail to recognize a diskette properly, there
|
|
is no solution but to retry until you get it right. WrtDsk is a brand
|
|
new replacement for RaWrite that should not have these problems. Please
|
|
try it. Note the disclaimers on all these programs, they mean it. Back
|
|
up your data first!
|
|
|
|
WrtDsk allows one to write images to disk in one command:
|
|
|
|
wrtdsk ROOT USR USR.* SRC.*
|
|
|
|
It allows you to redistribute the data on the floppies, so you can tag
|
|
USR onto ROOT, and concatenate the USR.* and SRC.* images if your
|
|
floppies are big enough. Note that USR.01 and SRC.01 must be the first
|
|
on a new floppy!
