Have gone through all the new messages, and am drawn back to these older ones: >Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 09:45:39 +0100 >From: Christian Gennerat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Matthew Hanson a �crit : > > > Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 01:28:23 +0000 > > From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: [LIB] ct50/70 X config file > > > > > > This site is talking about burning the ISO image to a CD that can ? > > be made bootable.

If I boot from a floppy with rawrite, how am I going to then install from a CD with the image, if I''ve got the FDD plugged in? I was thinking I could (though Neil's and others suggestion of putting the HDD in a desktop and booting it sounds like the best bet) copy the Linux boot disk over the Lib's HDD, copy CD-ROM drivers to the HDD, remove the FDD, and boot from the HDD with CD-ROM support. But wouldn't I have to format a partition on the Libs HDD for Linux in order to copy the Linux boot files and rawrite over to it? And wouldn't getting Linux drivers to operate the CD-ROM drive be a real task? Or am I just getting way off from what you were suggesting? Matt... back in the Linux mode again. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
