Hi, everybody This is what I found out about booting by loadlin: Loadlin and the manual are unmentained since april 1997. The author of loadlin does not answer. Everything about loadlin is in a file lodlin16.tgz you can find on your linux CD in the directory DOSUTILS. Slackware can boot by loadlin because it has a command like this loadlin zimage root=/dev/ram rw initrd=color.gz load_ram=1 It means it is making a ramdisk and is charging on it the image of the installation rootdisk (color.gz). In the DOS directory where are the zimage and loadlin you have to put also color.gz. Slackware is made by someone testing everything before making the distribution. Seems RedHat was not preocupied to adapt loadlin. But I think it might work also with RedHat using root.img instead of color.gz.I didn't try. I solved my problem moveing with fdisk the "a" flag from hda1 (dos) to hda3 (linux). Now, first I choose between linux and dos. If I choose DOS then I can choose between DOS and WIN95 using a menu made by me in the config.sys My wish was to have from the beggining a menu with three entries, LINUX, DOS, WIN95 but if it isn't, so be it. Hope this can help at least to save time. Cristian Carnutu
