(Please forgive me for asking a question driven pure, unadulterated laziness)
Does anyone know if it is possible to boot a machine with a Redhat 6.1
boot floppy and trick it into installing Redhat 5.2? For me it always
complains the installation source doesn't look like Redhat 6.1.
I ask this because I am looking at buying a laptop that has a USB
external floppy drive. I have verified that it will boot either of the
Redhat 5.2 and 6.1 boot floppies. I want to install Redhat 5.2 on it,
however the Redhat 5.2 install requires a 2nd floppy (for a network
install), and perhaps not surprisingly, linux cannot recognize and/or
mount anything on the floppy it booted off of under these
circumstances!
I understand I can hack around this somehow by making a custom boot floppy.
I just wanted to know if it was possible to trick the Redhat 6.1 install
to do 5.2 instead since that would be really easy...
Thanks,
Karl Runge
