Help installing RH Linux 6.1 on laptop...

[mikebw at colossus.bilow.com (Mike Bilow)]

The "rawrite" DOS utility just copies raw data onto a floppy.  It knows
knothing about filesystems, boot blocks, or anything else like that.  All
it knows is how to copy a series of bytes which is constructed by some
other means and put into an image file.  It is essentially the DOS version
of the Linux "dd" utility.
