This way you would end up with MS-DOS formatted floppies, one containing the file mfsroot.flp, the other containing file kern.flp. This is no good. What you want to do is to download the two .flp files to the same location where you put the fdimage.exe file. If you save them "on desktop", they are actually in folder c:\windows\desktop for win9x type of systems, or in c:\winnt\profiles\<your_user_name>\desktop for winnt/2k/xp systems. Then open the command prompt from Start menu and issue the following commands: cd \windows\desktop (insert first floppy) fdimage kern.flp a: (insert second floppy) fdimage mfsroot.flp a: -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
