If you made a boot floppy during your initial installation, or after upgrading - you should be able to boot of your floppy. I put my boot floppy in the floppy drive, booted up, after the kernel loaded, I was where I usually am with a good running system. At that point, I ran Lilo and was a happy camper. I don't know if Knoppix will do that for you or not, I didn't try with Knoppix - just the floppy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
