Thanks . That is the first thing I did - with two different floppy disks made from the
image
files on the two disks - using rawrite. Today I have downloaded the CD image for
redhat 5.2.3
and it seems to be working - booting from either the floppy (boot.img) or the CD
itself.
I wanted the mandrake version because I am told it includes video drivers for my TXPRO
board
which has an integrated video.
Thanks again.
