This must be a `raw' copy, so if you're running DOS, use the program tools/rawrite.exe to make this copy. The target floppy must be 100 % okay. I assume you're going to install from a DOS partition, so please read the section about the required directory structure on the source disk carefully. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
