Lee, Both of these methods of making a boot disk came directly from SUse tech support when I had the same question a while back.
You can copy the floppy as a whole with the following commands Put the original floppy into the drive dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy Remove the original floppy from the drive Put a new floppy into the drive dd if=/tmp/floppy of=/dev/fd0 ******************** In addition to copying the floppy directly you can make a boot floppy by putting a new floppy into the drive and typing lilo. For this to work the /etc/lilo.conf has to have a line that says: boot=/dev/fd0. I had a problem with mine a while back and the tech support (Suse) told me to change the line in my /etc/lilo.conf from boot=/dev/hdb1 to the above and it worked.
