+<para>
+
+An AppleScript, <application>Make Debian Floppy</application>, is
+available for burning floppies from the provided disk image files. It
+can be downloaded from
+<ulink url="ftp://ftp2.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/debian-imac/MakeDebianFloppy.sit"></ulink>. To
+use it, just unstuff it on your desktop, and then drag any floppy
+image file to it. You must have Applescript installed and enabled in
+your extensions manager. Disk Copy will ask you to confirm that you
+wish to erase the floppy and proceed to write the file image to it.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You can also use the MacOS utility <command>Disk Copy</command>
+directly, or the freeware utility <command>suntar</command>. The
+<filename>root.bin</filename> file is an example of a floppy
+image. Use one of the following methods to create a floppy from the
+floppy image with these utilities.

+<para>
+
+If you are creating the floppy image from files which were originally
+on the official &debian; CD, then the Type and Creator are already set
+correctly. The following <command>Creator-Changer</command> steps are
+only necessary if you downloaded the image files from a Debian mirror.

+it. When done it should eject the floppy.
