You are unlikely to be able to fit a current kernel (plus initrd) on a floppy. You can get it on a CD with "mkbootdisk --iso" (see "man mkbootdisk"). If you really want to boot from a floppy, see the "Smart Boot Manager" (SBM) at <http://btmgr.webframe.org/>, which fits on a floppy. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
