rawrite in linux?
« on: 24 August 2002, 19:51 »
Is there a command in linux similar or equivalent to the rawrite found in the dosutils folder of the redhat cdrom? I need to make a kickstart floppy, but don't want to go into windows for it. Thanks.

Well, there's actually a free Kickstart-type rescue floppy called Tom's Root Boot Disk which (I think) has an image program with it...

There are lots of places to get floppies, but I had to make a custom boot image to fit the network card of my computers. I am almost positive linux comes with a way of writing a boot image to a floppy, but sadly I do not know how.

Well, I realise that, but it IS a floppy image.  Wouldn't it HAVE to come with an image writing program?

Bitch.  Didn't realise that one...

Using dd under Linux to write standard density floppies
  If you have another Linux based system you can use the following to copy the disk image to a 1440kb diskette:

 
dd if=fd.f14 of=/dev/fd0
or
dd if=fd.f14 of=/dev/fd0 bs=10k
(uses higher blocking factor to get faster write to disk)
 
 
Found that in a Google Search...

if is the image file, of is the drive to copy to

  :eek:
