- Hello everyone, and happy new year.
- I would like to know the procedure to create a disk image for RAWRITE.
-
- I have obtained a tar'd version of MINICOMM (communication program for MINIX),
- but when I rawrite it to a floppy I get the following error under MINIX 1.5:
- fd0 is not a valid file system
-
- Someone told me the reason this happens is because rawrite can only reproduce
- an existing disk image, and the tar'd file does not contain that disk image.
-
- So my question is: how do I make a disk image of a file which RAWRITE in its
- turn can handle?
-
- Please reply if you know the answer, because I really need this program and you
- people are so good at answering novice questions.
- Many thanks in advance!
- Laszlo
