An AppleScript, <application>Make Debian Floppy</application>, is
|
| 9 |
available for burning floppies from the provided disk image files. It
|
| 10 |
can be downloaded from
|
| 11 |
<ulink url="ftp://ftp2.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/d/de/debian-imac/MakeDebianFloppy.sit"></ulink>. To
|
| 12 |
use it, just unstuff it on your desktop, and then drag any floppy
|
| 13 |
image file to it. You must have Applescript installed and enabled in
|
| 14 |
your extensions manager. Disk Copy will ask you to confirm that you
|
| 15 |
wish to erase the floppy and proceed to write the file image to it.

You can also use the MacOS utility <command>Disk Copy</command>
|
| 20 |
directly, or the freeware utility <command>suntar</command>. The
|
| 21 |
<filename>root.bin</filename> file is an example of a floppy
|
| 22 |
image. Use one of the following methods to create a floppy from the
|
| 23 |
floppy image with these utilities.

If you are creating the floppy image from files which were originally
|
| 32 |
on the official &debian; CD, then the Type and Creator are already set
|
| 33 |
correctly. The following <command>Creator-Changer</command> steps are
|
| 34 |
only necessary if you downloaded the image files from a Debian mirror.

Before using the floppy you created, <emphasis>set the write protect
