What is a cd with a live filesystem?How and when is it used? Is cd # 2 (the one from which it was possible to boot from and start even red hat systems and rerun lilo after installing windoze ) in Suse's ver 6.3 distro (comprising of 6 cds) a liveFS cd? How to make a boot floppy which will ask location of root partition and mount it accordingly so that it can be used for different computers to boot up a linux system (common distros - like red hat,mandrake,suse) in case of emergency.I have not used the Debian (woody? potato?) distribution that you and others refer to but have used Storm a little (it uses .deb).Can this floppy work with these too? If one wants to learn about Debian is Storm ok to start with?I was able to install that but have heard that Debian is not considered as "easy". regards, mdavid "Sthitaprajna wrote: > > Potato comes in 4 CDs...another 4 for the sources....that means > Debian overtakes SuSE's 6 CD bumper, even with a liveFS CD. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the 'What to do before posting to the list' site for a list of things to try before posting.
