Hi, Jim:
OK. Two things:
First, which you may not want to hear, Redhat is now at 7.1.94 and they're
There's a directory on the first disc image called images. This contains
floppy boot images and drivers disks that you can create with dd in linux
or rawrite in dos. Rawrite is in the dos_utils directory, if you need to
use that. If you do use rawrite, remember to kill your screen reader
during the writing process as it can corrupt the floppy being written--and
do the write from outside of Windows, just for good measure, like a
shutdown to ms dos, for example, or a native dos boot.
PS: Current redhat is 7.1.94 and Bill has it at octothorp under roswell.
What's cool about it is that ext3 is now available.
