If you are presently running Linux, place your 2 formatted floppies in your floppy drive and issue the commands:

If you are presently running a MicroSoft OS, you can download the rawrite program. After getting the rawrite.exe executable, issue:

Once the physical floppies are created, insert the boot floppy in your target system and boot from the appropriate drive. You will be greeted with the LinuxCOE installation screen, at the bottom of the screen you'll be provided with a "boot:" prompt. Type "install" to automatically install the system per your design.

You will be prompted for the driver disk (drvnet.img), insert it, and select 'Use a Driver Disk'.


Optional Driver Disks

If you have older/depecated or odd network hardware, you may need a driver disk. The most common symptom is the install stops almost immediately after starting and prompts you for "Language/keyboard/mouse".

Note: This also occurs if you selected DHCP but couldn't reach a DHCP server.

Create a second floppy (just like the one above) but use the following image(s):

If you have a laptop, or VERY old hardware, you may need one of these instead: To use your driver disk, after booting off your install image, type: dd == Driver disk, you will be immediately prompted for it.

Thank you for using LinuxCOE.
