4.3.2 Preparing the Installation Disk(s) for Linux
This section describes how to prepare the installation disk(s) from the obtained
driver image files using the Windows- or Linux-based operating systems. Refer
to this section when necessary during installation of Windows and Linux
operating systems.
4.3.2.1 Using a Windows Operating System
Under Windows, you can use the rawrite floppy image writer utility to create
disk images from image files. The image writer can be downloaded from the
Internet. Perform the following steps to build installation diskettes.
Step1. Copy the driver update disk image dud-<driver
version>.img and the file rawrite.exe to a directory.
Step2. Confirm that the files are in the selected directory.
Step3. After you confirm the files, you might need to change the filename of
the driver update disk to a smaller name with less than eight
characters.
Step4. Copy dud-<driver version>.img dud.img.
Step5. Type the following command to create the two installation diskettes:
RAWRITE
then press <Enter>.
You are prompted to enter the name of the boot image file.
Step6. Type:
dud.img
You are prompted for the target drive diskette.
Step7. Insert a floppy diskette into the floppy drive and type:
A:
then press <Enter>.
Step8. After the command prompt returns and the floppy disk drive LED
goes out, remove the diskette.
Step9. Label the diskette with the image name.
