Question

I need to create a driver disk for some hardware thats in an Intel server that I am trying to install RedHat AS 2.1 onto.

How can I create a Linux-format floppy and get the files onto it using a Windows PC ? Is there any utilities to do this ?

Dave

Dave,

Linux should be able to read a dos formatted floppy as long as it has the right filesystem driver built in ( Or can load it as a module)
