<p>To make a diskette under MS-DOS, use the <tt>rawrite</tt> utility included
on the Red Hat Linux CD in the <tt>dosutils</tt> directory. First, label a blank,
formatted 3.5-inch diskette appropriately (eg. ``Boot Diskette'', 
``Supplemental Diskette'', etc).  Insert it into the diskette drive. Then,
use the following commands (assuming your CD is drive <tt>d:</tt>):

<p><blockquote>
<tt><br>
C:<tt>&#92;</tt><tt>&#62;</tt> <b>d:</b><br>
D:<tt>&#92;</tt><tt>&#62;</tt> <b>cd <tt>&#92;</tt>dosutils</b><br>
D:<tt>&#92;</tt>dosutils<tt>&#62;</tt> <b>rawrite</b><br>
Enter disk image source file name: <b>..<tt>&#92;</tt>images<tt>&#92;</tt>boot.img</b><br>
Enter target diskette drive: <b>a:</b><br>
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : <tt>[Enter]</tt><br>
D:<tt>&#92;</tt>dosutils<tt>&#62;</tt>
</tt>
</blockquote>

<p><tt>rawrite</tt> first asks you for the filename of a diskette image; enter
the directory and name of the image you wish to write (for example,
<tt>..<tt>&#92;</tt>images<tt>&#92;</tt>boot.img</tt>).  Then <tt>rawrite</tt>
asks for a diskette drive to write the image to; enter <tt>a:</tt>.  Finally,
<tt>rawrite</tt> asks for confirmation that a formatted diskette is in the
drive you've selected.  After pressing <tt>[Enter]</tt> to confirm,
<tt>rawrite</tt> copies the image file onto the diskette.  If you need to make
another diskette, label another diskette, and run <tt>rawrite</tt> again,
specifying the appropriate image file.
