ipcop boot floppy |
|
|
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.

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/ipcop/?sort_by=date&sort=desc and
here's the other
http://ipcop.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=3&orderby=dateD

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.

Hi Mike, |
Have you been able to install ipcop?? If I can get past the boot
floopy, I'll be set (I think) :) |

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

Not sure, I'll have to double check... |

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

This nifty little floppy bootdisk allows selecting various devices to
boot from a menu, and even allows booting a CD-ROM in machines where
the BIOS doesn't support it. |
