Install CD bootet nicht

[Jazzalex]

Hi !
Mein Toshiba Laptop hat ein "gängiges" Problem, wozu ich folgende Info fand :

In the end I created a RH 7.1 installation boot floppy by booting
from a diskette into DOS and using the RH7.1 installation CD's
dosutils\rawrite.exe to copy the CD's images\boot.img
to a blank floppy.

Kann mir jemand sagen, was das genau heisst (bin noch immer Newbie) ? Soll ich einfach nur images\boot.img der CD auf ein leere Disk packen, und dann bootet er nach der Disk gleich auf CD ???

Danke im voraus, Grüsse Alex

First an advise: If you are on an English speaking board you have better chances to get your problem answered if you post in English ;)

Anyway, just as the instructions you have say: Get yourself a DOS bootdisk. Boot using that disk and then use the program rawrite.exe (it's on the first RH CD under d:\dosutils\rawrite.exe) to copy the file d:\images\boot.img to a blank floppy disk. Try typing "rawrite /h" to find out about the syntax. Then you have a linux boot floppy you can use to start the installation.

ohoh, sorry sorry, of course this in an english board... maybe that shows my confusion ´bout that but anyways ... in the meantime I´ve found out how it works and now it´s installed !!! But thanks, that was exactly how it worked. But now there are other problems that appear installing Linux on Toshiba Laptops. I´ll find them out and post them tomorrow. Enough for today...
