I'd like to install ipcop on an old pc. It can't boot from the cd. I downloaded rawrite & rawritewin. I also have isobuster. I extrated boot-1.4.10.img but rawrite does not see it (bad file name) when I enter it. I just want to make a bootable floppy so I can install ipcop, but I'm not having any luck.. :(

Did you follow the instructions on this webpage about creating the Boot Floppy.

Presumably you dl/ed the 43 meg cd .iso ipcop-install-1.4.10.i386.iso
I had a hard time figuring out which of the files should be dl/ed if you didn't want the CD .iso
Here's one directory

Isobuster gives you some options about how you extract a file from an .iso. Maybe you should use a different extract option.

It sounds like you have a reasonable plan to make a floppy from the .img file -- you just have to get the right file in the right condition.
Yes, but I'm getting lost....
Hi Mike,
Have you been able to install ipcop?? If I can get past the boot floopy, I'll be set (I think) :)
Did you use the version of Rawrite/Rawritewin from the dosutils directory of the CD image that you have downloaded?

Not sure, I'll have to double check...
Might I suggest that you try sbootmgr instead. Check this site:
