Preparing Installation Disks With a Linux Operating System:
Under Red Hat Linux and SuSE Linux, you can use a driver diskette utility to create disk images from
image files. Perform the following steps to create the driver update disk:

Step 3 Copy the driver update disk image dud-[driver version].img to your Linux system.
Step 4 Insert a blank floppy diskette into the floppy drive.
Step 5 Confirm that the files are in the selected directory.
Step 6 Create the driver update diskette using the following command:
dd if=dud-[driver version].img of=/dev/fd0
Step 7 After the command prompt returns and the floppy disk drive LED goes out, remove the diskette.
Step 8 Label the diskette with the image name.
