Creating Install and Modules Diskettes
======================================
To create OpenLinux eServer(TM) install and modules diskettes,
do the following:

  Creating an Install Diskette
  ----------------------------

  To create an install diskette, do the following:

  1. Insert a blank 1.44 MB diskette in the diskette drive.

  2. Do one of these:

     - From an OpenLinux eServer command line, type 

       dd if=install.144 of=/dev/fd0 <Enter>

     - From a DOS command line, run the "RAWRITE" utility in the
       "col\launch\floppy" directory on this OpenLinux eServer CD, and then 
       follow the prompts for transferring the "install.144" file to
       the diskette, or run "install.bat".

     - From Windows, insert the CD (if autorun.inf does not start up
       a menu then run "winsetup\setup.exe"), go to the Install
       Product / Create Install Diskettes menu and follow the
       instructions.

  3. Label the diskette.
