Re: Floppy Linux

[Oleg Kobets]

Yes, it's pretty much straight forward if you know how a basic Linux operates.   Take kernel, compile to your liking and hardware support, Add LILO (if you wish), Build a root disk, put it all on floppy.   There is a HOWTO concerning this subject on: http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html   From personal experience I can say that this process can be very easy or very hard depending on what quality diskette you are using. Use NEW diskette or you will stuck for ages :-)   Oleg.   ----- Original Message ----- From: kirson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 3:55 PM Subject: Floppy Linux Hi   Does any one know how to make a Linux boot floppy that can mount NFS  and CIFS shares ( rpc+smbclient+mount )   I tried to google around but with no use..   Thanks   EREZ
