o RedHat and a few other distros ship with a utility called "mkbootdisk". Check if that is installed on your box. o I have a bash script called "make boot floppy" (mbf) which is linked at my home page: * http://geocities.com/usmbish/ This creates a LILO based boot disk, and generic enough for all distros. Problem these days actually is the size of the kernel. These have grown so much that a floopy may not suffice ...
