+For a normal CDROM or network installation, all you need to copy onto an
+actual floppy from this directory is the boot.flp image (for 1.44MB floppies).
+
+NOTE: These images are NOT DOS files! You cannot simply copy them to a DOS
+floppy as regular files, you need to *image* copy them to the floppy with
+rawrite.exe or `dd' under UNIX (again, please see the installation docs
+[in INSTALL.TXT] for details). Also note that the rawrite.exe program
+ONLY WORKS UNDER DOS. If you're running Win95, boot into DOS mode before
+running it. If you're running NT, use a different machine to make your
+boot floppy. Both Win95 and WinNT interfere with rawrite's abiltiy to
+talk directly to the floppy drive.
