I'd like to install ipcop on an old pc. It can't boot from the cd. I
downloaded rawrite & rawritewin. I also have isobuster. I extrated
boot-1.4.10.img but rawrite does not see it (bad file name) when I
enter it. I just want to make a bootable floppy so I can install
ipcop, but I'm not having any luck.. :(

Did you follow the instructions on this webpage about creating the Boot
Floppy.

Yes, but I'm getting lost....

Presumably you dl/ed the 43 meg cd .iso ipcop-install-1.4.10.i386.iso

I had a hard time figuring out which of the files should be dl/ed if you
didn't want the CD .iso

Here's one directory
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ipco ... &sort=desc and
here's the other
http://ipcop.org/modules.php?op=modload ... erby=dateD
makeoneline

also have isobuster. I extrated

Isobuster gives you some options about how you extract a file from an
.iso. Maybe you should use a different extract option.

It sounds like you have a reasonable plan to make a floppy from the .img
file -- you just have to get the right file in the right condition.

Did you use the version of Rawrite/Rawritewin from the dosutils directory of
the CD image that you have downloaded?

Might I suggest that you try sbootmgr instead. Check this site:
