Hi,
If you can't make a boot floppy don't worry. If u have the
Installation CD still with you.. out the CD in the drive and restart the
comp. When it asks you what to do type the following line
vmlinuz root=/dev/hdai
where hdai is your linux root partition. This huld work
Regards,
Mayank

LIH is all for free speech. But it was created
