You can use mkbootdisk with the stock FC2 kernel, but for .521 and above, you'll need to use mkbootdisk with the --iso option and burn it to CD-R or (preferably) RW. It's the only way I've been able to make it work. -------------------------------------- Mark Haney Network Administrator InterAct Public Safety Systems mhaney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) Kernel: 2.6.5-1.358 GNU/Linux 14:48:52 up 1:51, 1 user, load average: 1.17, 0.85, 0.84
