Sounds interesting : i'll try Tom's root&boot. MS hasn't trashed anything
(yet), it just doesn't allow me to write Lilo on the MBR (NTFS), and so i
use a floppy to boot Linux from hdb1. Which i forgot at home.
Thanks,

Depends what you're after.
If you're trying to get Linux up and running when MS has trashed
your MBR
then get a prebuilt kernel from somewhere and
dd if=kernel of=/dev/fd0
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda1
(or wherever your root partition is). Although this does rather
require a
Linux machine up and running.
Alternatively, if you want a "full" Linux distro, try getting Tom's
root
and boot, install it onto a floppy and reboot.
