Replacement section 4.3.2 (Rawrite)

["Robin Rowe" <rower@MovieEditor.com>]

Hi. This is my first attempt at contributing to Debian docs, so please bear
with me for not knowing the procedure.

I recently created an open source Linux boot diskette Windows utility called
Bootset, to address some inconveniences in NTRawrite. While working on that
I noticed that section 4.3.2 in the Debian docs is really out of date, and
doesn't point to the comprehensive list of rawrite-like programs maintained
at the FreeDOS site (of which I have no affiliation).

I've updated the 4.3.2 section to be more modern. If there are no objections
the HTML below should replace 4.3.2 in this document:


http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html

<HR ALIGN=LEFT><A
NAME="s4.3.2"></A></P>

<H3>4.3.2 Writing Disk Images From Windows, DOS, or OS/2</H3>

<P>If you have access to an i386 machine, you can use <A
HREF="http://www.fdos.org/ripcord/rawrite/readme.html";>Rawrite
and related programs</A> to copy disk images to floppies.</P>

<P>Newer programs such as <A
HREF="http://ntrawrite.sourceforge.net/";>NTRawrite</A>
work in Windows NT/2k/XP, but many older programs will only work
from DOS or with Windows 9x booted into DOS. Most of the programs
create one disk at a time from the command line, which can be
inconvenient, although some offer a GUI. <A
HREF="http://www.objectdesigngroup.com/bootset/";>Bootset</A>
creates a boot diskette set from a list of diskette image files
in a text file.</P>

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Robin
