Here is what I get if I do mkboot, a lost and found folder and a vmlinuz file. I tried this before, it doesn't work, but in the man it says something about if lilo is in use it des something with lilo??? I don't want anything but a simple straightforward way to make a simple straightforward boot disk that is all.
How exactly, does Debian do it when it installs itself? It asked me if I want a boot floppy and then it made one simple as that. Why does that application/script not exist now when everything is in place? OR, here is another avenue; I already have the old original 2.2.22222222 floppy and it gives me a boot: prompt (for like 3 seconds!) can I put any stuff in there that will allow me to boot the new kernel? Or can I somehow modify that boot floppy so it works with the new kernel? I would like a way in which I don't have to edit or add anything to the old floppy since its trustworthy... -----Original Message----- From: Rus Foster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 11:31 AM To: Victor Stan Cc: debian Subject: Re: must.. surpress ... murderous rage....
