Happy new year to all,
I did some homework, I understand enough about the boot process
and the layout of the boot diskettes.
I have downloaded Linux v2.1.132. but I could not find a kernel image
I could use to boot from.
Since I do not have a working Linux system yet, I need a kernel image
for an Intel 386 processor at the level V2.1.x or V2.2.x.
I have a VmLinuz image with my Redhat CD-rom but at 2.0.34 or 2.0.36.
If some generous soul can tell me where I can get an I386 kernel image
at 2.1.132 or 2.2.x, it would be very much appreciated.
(or send via e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
In the mean time, I will keep looking for one.
Best regards!
