This directory contains some DOS programs that some
users might want to use to assist in installing the
Caldera Network Desktop product.
fips.exe
This executable will split a defragged disk
into several partitions. It is required that
the user runs defrag before using this utility.
For most this utility functions as advertised
although it is always recommended that a full
backup be done to insure no data loss on failure.
This is an unsupported utility. Documentation is
included in fips.doc. Possible errors that may
occur are contained in errors.txt.
rawrite.exe
This executable is used to write a "raw" floppy
image to an already formated DOS floppy. This
utility is used to write a boot floppy image
from off the CD to a floppy. It will prompt
for needed information. Documentation for this
utility is in rawrite3.doc.
gzip.exe
Many files contained on this CD are compressed
with a utility under Linux called "gzip". This
utility is used to unzip and zip files from DOS.
The convention for many zipped files are to end
with the extension ".gz".
rdev.exe
This utility is used to set kernel parameters.
This utility is for experienced users only!
restorrb.exe
This utility is used to manipulate the boot
record. This utility is for experienced users
only! If you desire to restore the Master Boot
Record of your disk there is an undocumented
parameter to your DOS fdisk that will restore
the MBR. The command to use is "fdisk /MBR".
