I recompiled my kernel today (without any major problems) to 2.027,
however, I can't seem to figure out how to create a new boot floppy. I have
tried: cp vmlinux /dev/fd0 to a DOS-formatted disk, but when I tried to

my computer, it didn't work.

You see, most people don't think in C-like structures and don't parse
press-statements through a preprocessor to verify if all the includes are
allright. If one did include all of it, their stack would probably
overflow and in this case it wouldn't give you an access to their system.

Just curious. I've noticed a few letters making references to packages
