Installation  
 
CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE 

There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette: 

MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 

Save the driver diskette image file into a temporary directory. 

Note: Please ensure that driver diskette image file is save in a DOS 8.3 name. 

Use the "rawrite" utility which can be obtained from the Linux OS media. 

Insert a floppy diskette in the diskette drive, run the rawrite utility and follow the on screen prompts.


MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 

Save the driver diskette image file into a temporary directory. 

Note: To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux). 

Insert a floppy diskette in the diskette drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: 


# dd if=[driver diskette image filename] of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
