User Feedback :: dsl boot



Hello,
I recently read about DSL and want to try it out.
Since my older cpu cannot boot from a cd-rom, I need to boot from a floppy.
I downloaded the floppy image from the website.
But how can I get it on the disk?
Trying to copy it does not work.
Can anybody help, please?
Thanks

In Windows you need "rawrite" to create a diskette. You can e.g. get it from here: http://mirror.pudas.net/slackware/slackware-10.2/bootdisks/

In linux: dd if=filename.img of=/dev/fd0

If you have a M$ machine you can use RawWriteWin
