Creating a bootdisk

jaakkop · 09-11-2004, 07:48 AM

I have a old computer and I want to install RedHat Linux 7.3 (or 7.2) to it. Problem is that the BIOS is so old that it can't load from a CD so I need a bootdisk. I don't know how to make one so I need instructions to it.

If you have a windows computer, insert the Linux distribution CD. You should find a dosutils directory. and an images folder. You should use the rawrite command to write one of the images from the images directory to a floppy. Read the rawrite documentation.

run rawrite and follow the instructions.
