- floppies, or 5 for 5.25-inch 1.2 MB floppies), and n specifies the disk
- number (1 to 5 for MS-DOS based client, 1 to 4 for OS/2 based client).

- To create a floppy disk installation set, use the following syntax to copy
- each of the disk images to an external drive
-
- <filename> -d <destination drive>
-
- at the command prompt. The -d indicates that the directories on DSK3-1.EXE
- are to be copied onto a disk located in the B drive. For example, to create
