[NTLUG:Discuss] rawrite problem

[Kyle Edbauer]

I've used rawrite on NT to create RH and OpenBSD boot disks.  Last week I
used it to create FreeBSD boot disks.  

<BSD Plug>
BTW if you haven't ever tried FreeBSD it really cool.  Just download two
floppy images, boot from them, connect to an FTP server and viola new
operating systems.  And the ports setup that they have is much cooler than
RPMs.  The ports check dependencies before installing software.  If some
library or other software is required then the port downloads and
installs that software then continues with the install of the software you
wanted.  It also enables you to De-install and upgrade packages easily.  
</BSD Plug>

Anyway, the only time I've had a problem with rawrite in NT is when I
tried using a bad floppy.
