idiot image... is this a hint that you are referring to LRP2.9.8? or Eigerstein, Dachstein, Oxygen, or Bering? From what website? We would ordinarily assume leaf.sourceforge.net, but I think that site is pretty clear about the variety available that you are not ruling out. > Since my redhat > box doesn't have a device for 1680, I used the Windows exe version, which > works great! Thank you. Mmmm.. I doubt your RH kernel cannot handle 1680, though it is quite possible that your /dev directory doesn't have a device node to refer to that capability with. http://c0wz.steinkuehler.net/dox/LRP-Large_Floppy_write-HowTo.txt > The floppy I created works OK in several boxes, except for this Old > Pentium, that I got for cheap.

If you _are_ using the LRP2.9.8 1680 image, it was infamous for not having been syslinuxed with the "-s" switch. Don't blame the hardware yet.... Your best option is probably to use Dachstein or Bering. > I have a couple of spare 1.44 drives, so I will try that next.

The temptation with RH is to leave all those services it installs by default running... which is risky for a firewall. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
