Re: Him no install

[Aron Skrypeck <askrypeck igc org>]

Hello Ferd,
I had the same problem: how to fit a 1.44 MB image on a floppy....
Then I looked again at the instructions on the site....
Same as in RH manual, p. 226, Making a diskette.... Just use the
downloaded image to point to, using rawrite under DOS or dd under LInux,
to create the actual floppy.

Good luck, Aron
