when the floppy is formatted..it won't be bootable unless you do a full
format.. a quick format won't be bootable. are you doing "rawrite" from a
dos
promt ? if not cd to the drive that is the cdrom then cd to \dosutils
...enter
command "rawrite.exe" ...it will ask where the image file is...on redhat
it's
\images\boot.img (i don't know about Mandrake" then it will ask where to
copy... just type "a:"
I had just asked a similiar question and this was the answer that worked for
me. Thanks to the person who enlightened me so that I am able to help you!
