hi..
i tried to create a floppy bootdisk on a RH8 system. when i insert the
floppy and reboot, i get the 'boot' prompt. however, when i enter 'linux
askmethod' the system goes ahead and continues to reboot, using the current
RH operating system. the system never starts the installation process for
the new FC. i used the following command to create the boot disk.
am i lacking/misunderstanding something?
thanks
bruce
