Hello, Yatsen! I don`t think, it would help, but just a note: Try to copy /dev/fd0 file (or /dev/fd1, if that`s your secondary floppy) to different name, onto your harddrive. And then try to mount that file instead of a device. Don`t forget to add "-o loop" switches to "mount" command. Anyhow, if you can do nothing with that floppy, you can upload that file to someone, who will dig it precisely. I bet, I can detect most of filesystems, using just hexviewer of MC. <Please, don`t send this file up to me - it will kill my mailbox, although, you can send first 10kb of this file.> Thanks, Egor. -----Original Message----- From: Yatsen Ng [mailto:yatsenng@casema.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2000 6:54 PM To: Cees van de Griend; suse-linux-e@suse.com; egm@csie.nsys.by Subject: Re: [SLE] Filesystems I know how to configure lilo, it's just that I can't copy the image off the floppy.

I did it with cp.
Basically what it comes down to is this: I've copied vmlinuz to a floppy and now I want to coppy it to another PC. So far I haven't been able to copy it to the other PC.
Use cp (or mcopy) to copy it to the other computer, then use 'lilo' to install it.
Don't forget to edit '/etc/lilo.conf'.
If this is the first time you are playing with lilo, first create with lilo a bootdisk on a floppy (boot = /dev/fd0). That's a good excersise and you can only 'destroy' a floppy, not your HD.
Before any big change, I always copy 'lilo.conf' to 'lilo.conf.fd0' and with 'lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf.fd0 -b /dev/fd0' I try it first on a floppy.
Good luck, Cees.
