Title: Install with Bootdisk
Post by: Lasse on May 22, 2002, 11:12:55 PM

I want to install e-smith on a pentium 166 MHz. This computer cannot boot from a cd-rom. I have read that it is possible to install by using a bootdisk. Where can i get this bootdisk???
I guess its a special boot disk, because I have used a normal windows98 boot disk, suporting CD-ROM , but when im in dos, i cannot find a file on the E-smith install cd, that starts the installation??

I always boot from a floppy, here is what I do for a short cut from reading the manual

x: = cdrom drive letter(assuming your in windows or dos)

x:\dosutils\rawrite
then for the name it ask for the images
x:\images\boot.img
a: for the drive selection

and from there you should be all set
