- syslinux for Debian
- -------------------
-
- As of syslinux 4.01+dfsg-1, the syslinux package doesn't contain premade floppy
- images anymore. Floppy drives are to be considered extinct in 2010.
-
- However, if still want floppy images, you can produce them on your own:
-
- 1. install mtools:
-
- # apt-get install mtools
-
- 2. build the images:
-
- # for SIZE in 720 1200 1440 1743; \
- do \
- dd if=/dev/zero of=img${SIZE}k bs=1k count=${SIZE};
- done
-
- # for DRIVE in a: b: c: d:;\
- do \
- MTOOLSRC=/usr/share/syslinux/examples/mtoolsrc \
- mformat ${DRIVE}; \
- done
-
- # for SIZE in 720 1200 1440 1743; \
- do \
- syslinux -s debian/build/img${SIZE}k; \
- done
-
- 3. be happy :)
