This is a good idea and possibly the only solution possible,
but I said that the impossibility to make a bootable floppy
should be considered to erase this option on DrakConf.
Thansk for the clue, sincerely yours

It should still be possible since vmlinuz's size is less than
1.44 MB.. but soom it'll not be possible

I think over burnt floppies might not be so reliable, and might
also be problematic with bootloaders.
Just a guess.
If it is impossible make a boot floppy due to the size of
the kernel, it could be appropriate erase this option in
DrakConf, couldn't it?

how about switching to bootable rescue isos...
mkrescue --iso
Sharrea,
