User Feedback :: make a boot floppy with raw dsl 0.80



hello
congratulations for dsl

i try to make a boot floppy  for my old laptop dell xpcdi 166mhz ram 48 on windows with rawrite.

but when i explore dsl cdrom i don't find  boot.img.

can anymore help me to create a boot floppy ?
thanks

hello again

on antother laptop i run dsl 0.8.0 and i want to create a floppy boot
in shell sh iwrite this
"sudo su"
then " dd if=boot-0.8.0.img of=dev/fd0"
but it doesn't nothing simply no such file
i retry with "dd if=boot.img of/dev/fd0" nothing too ? :angry:

i think that the boot.img you're searching is here :
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....8.0.img
hope this help :)

thank you ypx

when  i burn this boot.img but i have another problem
when i introduce the floppy boot i have this msg
"loading linux 24.......
" load minitrt24.gz
"you passed an undefined mode number
i press scan
i see "welcome to dsl" then
"sorry can't find knoppix file system" ( dsl is introduce in my cd player)
"droppin, you to a very limited shell"
"press reset better to quit"
"additional built in command avaliable"
cat        mount       unmount
insmod   rmod         lsmod
knoppix #
what can i do or it's impossible to install dsl on my laptop : dell latitude xpci mst166 48 ram ( bios can but only hd or floppy not cd player)

thanks for your help


excuse for my bad english :(

i had a similar problem once or twice... but there was option to ignore that came up, which i choose. worked fine, and the problem didn't occured anymore.
So i'm sorry but i can't help more than that.
