To create an installation boot floppy disk from Linux (or another Unix) machine, what command could you use? A. fdisk B. fsck C. dd D. rawrite E. None of the above

fdisk
fsck
dd
rawrite E. None of the above

The correct answer is D. rawrite.

fdisk is a command-line utility for creating and modifying disk partitions. fsck is a command-line utility for checking and repairing file systems. dd is a command-line utility for copying and converting data. rawrite is a command-line utility for writing data to a floppy disk.

To create an installation boot floppy disk from Linux (or another Unix) machine, you can use the rawrite command. The syntax for the rawrite command is as follows:

rawrite [options] device image

where:

  • device is the device name of the floppy disk drive, such as /dev/fd0.
  • image is the name of the image file that contains the installation files.

For example, to create a boot floppy disk from the installation image file named debian-9.0-amd64-netinst.iso, you would use the following command:

rawrite /dev/fd0 debian-9.0-amd64-netinst.iso

After the rawrite command has finished, you can boot your computer from the floppy disk to start the installation process.
