Binaries/makeboot

makeboot is a binary used to create a repair/installation floppy disk for system maintenance.

usage:

makeboot

output:

writes the minux installer on the floppy disk with file name "startup" and disk name "minuxinstall", this disk acts as a boot disk.

a boot disk contains a copy of the netinstaller that overrides a computer's normal startup when inserted, this can be used to either install, reinstall, remove or repair a minux installation.

it is handy to have at least one boot disk around if needed, it can be a lifesaver.
