Hi All I have a few problems using yard to make boot and root floppy disks (with a redHat 6.1 kernel). When I try to put a computer's RedHat 6.1 kernel on one, then the necessary utilities on the other floppy, the total always ends up being too large, as I suspect many of the modules are not built into the kernel and have to be included. Even if I try to trim out many of the utilities, I never even get close to something that fits on two floppies. The reason I want to build my own boot and root floppies (rather than using the netboot image from the RedHat 6.1 CD) is that I would like to include, on the root floppy, some scripts of my own which automate an installation from an image. So what I am after is: 1. A boot disk with a RedHat 6.1 kernel. 2. A root disk with standard utilities, plus some space to put two scripts on. Alternatively, if there is a way to use the netboot image from the Redhat 6.1 CD for booting, which somehow can be linked up with a second ramdisk on which I can put my own utilities and scripts, that would work also. Any help or information will be most appreciated.
