Hi all,

is it possible to make a Win9x-Bootdisk on a slackmachine (9.0)?
I don't have win on my machine but I need a bootdisk for my
other machine (100mhz very very old), to boot win95 on it.

thanks,
omid

You can download a freedos bootdisk image from
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-...beta9/diskimg/
and just dd it to /dev/fd0

Go to www.bootdisk.com and download the bootdisk you need. Then unpack
it using ark:
bash-2.05b$ ark --extract boot95b.exe

This will give you a bootdisk image named winb95b.IMA and this can be
written to a floppy:
bash-2.05b$ su
Password:
bash-2.05b# dd if=winb95b.IMA of=/dev/fd0
