Best way to create a bootable floppy disk using linux?


The Power Company

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, its been a while! I'm currently playing with some... legacy... hardware, and my old machine doesn't want to boot from a CD and is too old to USB boot. Luckily, I have a bunch of old floppies lying around, plenty large enough to fit Damn Small Linux or TinyCore onto! What is the best way to write/burn/enscribe a boot ISO onto a floppy disk from Linux? I tried to google it but all I found were windows utilities...
