Copying a driver file on two floppies

[danleff 0]

I need to copy a Win 98 driver file for a Belkin NIC card on two floppies for my boss, who has a Windows 98 system. Of course, the file comes in at just over 1.5 mb, so it needs to go on two floppies. Anyone know how to do this in Linux?

 

I know, but he wants to add the Windows 98 system to his network at home.

 

Next, I'll try to get him to try Linux.

with two DOS (fat|vfat) formatted floppies in hand (best if full formatted

by the destination) --

 

disassembly at the Linux host begins with:

 

[size:4][tt]dd if=nameofthedriver.sys of=a.bin bs=1024 count=1000

dd if=nameofthedriver.sys of=b.bin bs=1024 skip=1000[/tt][/color]

 

 

reassembly at the Win98 destination will involve something like:

 

[size:4][tt]copy a.bin /b + b.bin /b nameofthedriver.sys /b[/tt][/color]

(it might work without all the '/b' params designating the 'binary-ness'

of the files. the paranoia about proper byte handling is worth the extra

typing, though)

 

 

easy enough, yes?
