Keywords: PC, Demo, FTP Message-ID: Date: 14 Feb 91 13:43:55 GMT Sender: news@diemen.utas.edu.au Distribution: comp Lines: 23 I recently got the 1.5 Demo disk by FTP from ftp.cs.vu.nl in /minix. This file is a disk image. My question is, how can I transfer this onto a standard PC floppy? Does anyone know if there is a utility available somewhere to copy a file onto a DOS floppy, under DOS. Obviously it needs to copy from track 0, sector 0, i.e. including the boot block. It might also be a good idea if Dr. Tanenbaum was to place this info in the Read_Me file with the demonstration. If anyone can help, I would be most appreciative. -- Jim Patterson | Computer Systems Officer | email: Department of Geography | james@geo.geol.utas.edu.au <-preferred address University of Tasmania | james@tasman.cc.utas.edu.au -- Jim Patterson | Computer Systems Officer | email: Department of Geography | james@geo.geol.utas.edu.au <-preferred address University of Tasmania | james@tasman.cc.utas.edu.au
