Hi all,
Sorry to keep coming back on this.
I tried drakfloppy --testing on the CLI and got the following message:
Is gtk2-perl missing Gtk2::Text::insert?
Call trace:
Gtk2::_Object::Autoload () called from /usr/sbin/drakfloppy:311
main::build_it() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/ugtk2.pm:849
(eval)() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/ughk2.pm:849
ugtk2::main() called from /usr/bin/drakfloppy:192
This time something was written to the floppy disk at last - a file
called ldlinux.sys.
Viewed with Kate, this has
SYSLINUX 1.67 2002-02-03
LDLINUX SYS.. then a lot of binary stuff

Needless to say, the CPU and RAM messages are codswallop; but does this
give any indications as to why the wretched system won't create a
bootdisk?
All help gratefully welcome!
