Ray explained in great detail, however to expand on what he said about booting other computers, the created bootdisk will only boot another machine to start with if it has the same root partition, for example /dev/hda3 would be the root partition, if another machine has /dev/hda2 as it root partition then it would boot the other machine as is, you would need to use 'rdev' to change the boot params of the disk. 'man rdev' and 'rdev -h' will help you more. Then as Ray said the machines would need to be somewhat the same. > > Regards, > Thanks in Advance, > Abhijit. > -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
