Hello,
I have a old laptop with a ethernet card, without CD-Rom drive. I wich make a HD on it.
I wish to boot to a floopy, mount a CD-Rom by a local network and launch the installation script. In home, I am connected to the web via a poor RTC connection.
With my XP, I cannot create the tomsrtbt boot disk. I only succed to make the DSL boot disk.

How can I make a boot disk to connect to my local network and mount a CD-ROM ?
Can I launch the install ?

Thanks for all,
Pouy.

Search google for

rawrite32

Then download it and use it to create a boot disk from an image file.

OR,

search for FREEDOS and create a DOS boot disk and then use the RAWRITE2 program to create the boot disk from after booting into DOS.
