Well, first, get out of windows. Make sure rawrite is in the same
directory with the disk images you wish to copy (boot1440.bin, root.bin,
base14-1.bin, base14-2.bin, and base14-3.bin). Copy one image to each of
five formated disketts. To do this type rawrite at the dos prompt. You
will be prompted for an input file and an output file. The input file
should be one of the above .bin files. The output file/device should be
a:, unless your 3 1/2" drive is b:.
Once you have made these five disks, boot your computer with the boot disk
and follow the directions. I would also suggest that you print out the
installation directions (find them in the same place as the above disk
images) as they will be very helpful.
I you still have problems, don't hesitate to let us know. Some information
about the target machine (processor, memory, special interfaces...) will
give us a better idea about where your problems may lie.
Luck,
Dwarf
