Just yesterday I played with grub and found it very impressive. I don't know if it is of help to you, but creating a grub floppy is a snap: just need two commands (IIRC, these:) dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 seek=1 (I can send you those files if you need) Then, you can boot from floppy, and boot into *anything* you like. the floppy drops you into a simple commandline, where you can tell it: - from which disk to boot (hard drive 1, hard drive 1, which partition, etc) - in case of linux: which kernel to boot. (It can read ext2, reiserfs, etc!!!) I was very impressed. let me know if you need the files! ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
