Re: [newbie] Testing new versions of kernels with a floppy

Hi.. Im' trying to make a bootdisk. But when I try mkbootdisk --device/dev/fd0 2.2.15-4mdk, I get an error message : mount : /dev/fd0 already mounted on /tmp/mkbootdisk busy. Then I try to umount fd0 (umount -f /dev/fd0), and I get an error message like this : umount2 : Device or resource

Re: [newbie] Testing new versions of kernels with a floppy

Yes...I would definately disable supermount and then to make the boot disk just use the utility that comes with Mandrake. If you open Drakeconf you'll find it right there on the menu. It's called Drakeboot. -- Mark **
