Damn. Yeah, if you can't boot Solaris, you surely wont be able to boot Linux from CD. Ok. Well, I've never tested the floppy booting, because I don't have a machine capable of doing it. So if someone willing wants to fiddle around with the boot-floppies package (particularly the part that creates the rescue disk, which is where it gets the options for the initrd, and other things) then feel free to do so. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
