Re: [newbie] booting / installing from 7-02 iso
Ronif you don't have it, you need to get it, here: http://www.toms.net/rb/ It enables you to boot up any x86 machine in linux, by simply inserting the floppy and re-booting. It has lots of utilities for you to use in a ramdisk based filesystem, so it doesn't interfere with anything on the system's hard drives, or even need a hard drive to run.
