Oh, well, booting from floppy should not be a problem, as long as I
don't break something in my Pentium. Thanks a lot.
BTW: Do you, Jakob, or somebady else know, whether one has to "park"
the xt-disk before shutting down the computer? The guy who gave me the
xt insisted that I had to use the "park" utility that he had written
for the disk before switching power off. AFAIR it "parks" the head of
the disk on track 1. Is this neccessary, and if, how do I do this with
linux and/or ELKS?
Cheers,
