This fresco ,

Is it a slef booting disk , where I can slip it in the drive and boot off
of in linux ? Or must you allready have a version of linux allready on the
box and then run freesco ?

Also is there a way to creat a bbotable flopy with floppy as filesystem ,
that will then allow you to mount what ever local ide drive it there  , or
just work with the flopy ?

You know something exeactly like the dos boot disk ? It boots up and finds
what ever doas disk is there , if its a good one you can access it , if not
ypou can then use whatever seperated disk to fix or blow it away ?
I know that JP and GT like it becouse you can rip out the hard drive and
have a very secure firewall .
