Re: boot fedora core 2 from floppy

[Patrik Andersson <patrik@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm running FC2 and XP on the same machine, I use a boot CD which I have 
created by first doing an iso-image of the disk with the command 
'mkbootdisk --iso --device /tmp/boot.iso 2.6.8-1.521' and then burned it 
to a CD.

Someone said to me that the FC2 kernel was to big to have on a floppy 
therefore I use a CD.
Then you need to have the CD everytime you want to start Fedora, and 
when you want to start XP, you don't need the CD.
