Bare Basics to Create Boot disk.
« on: November 04, 2011, 04:32:23 AM »
I used to know the answer to this back in the 90's, but it's been so long...

Can some one provide me with a bare basic list of software needed to be on a disk in order to make it bootable?

Thankx in advance!

WOW, that's something I never did before...

What I used to do was simply format a floppy, then there was a key set of Files and Folders I would copy over to the disk that would allow it to boot into the WorkBench GUI.

What ever files I needed from there, I simply added to the disk as I went.
