12. Preparing the two floppies

On the source side, mount the cdrom and go in the install directory

      $ mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd  /cdrom
      $ cd /cdrom/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/
     

Read the file install.html with a browser or install.txt with a cat, less or more (a dog).

Now, record the install (alias rescue) floppy. Write a "resc1440.bin" label on it:

      $ dd if=resc1440.bin of=/dev/fd0H1440
     

Record the drivers floppy. Write a "drv1440.bin" label on it:

      $ dd if=drv1440.bin of=/dev/fd0H1440
     

Lock the writing on those floppies.

Now you're ready to start the real installation process.
