Hi
 Here is my problem. I have a PII Toshiba Satellite PRO 490cdt. It has the old intel 
440bx chip set ( so bugzilla 
report on the 440GX won't help imho). I have no floppy drive only a CD-ROM. I am able 
to boot from the RH 7.0  or 
older cd sets. However I am a big baby and want my 7.3 on my laptop like it is on my 
desktop. Now I have gathered 
and printed eery HOWTO and mini HOWTO from 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html and 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/mini.html . The only thing I can't seem to find 
is if I make a boot.img on 
my 7.3 and make my own RH7.3 install disk set will it work due to my laptop not 
supporting the new 2.88MB floppy 
format instead of the older 1.44MB one. For I think it would but I am not sure. And if 
this won't work If some 
one could point me in another direction besides 
http://www.davidatsystems.com/linux_install_on_ibm_thinkpad390.htm or 
http://www.linux-on-
laptops.com/toshiba.html for both of these assume I have a floppy which I don't. Plus 
once I get done and to 
suceed I will post my iso's so any one else with a machine that won't recognize the 
new 2.88 will be able to 
download RH7.3 that will boot on those machine given that their computer or laptop can 
boot from CD.

Many thanks in advance and More info is needed as to what I am trying incase this is 
not clear enough please 
email me as to what your wanting clarification on and I will try to explain further.

Bobby Treaster
