Run /media/cdrom/boot/mkbootdisk /media/cdrom to create boot disk image files bootdisk01 - bootdiskNN. 3. Write these image files to floppies, using e.g. dd if=bootdisk01 of=/dev/fd0 (and bootdisk02 - bootdiskNN accordingly). 4.

Please update Factory to refer to openSUSE 11.3 so that it will appear corrected for openSUSE 11.3 GM release. They should be updated for every upgrade. ASAP Yes?

We don't support booting from floppy anymore (since oS 11.2, iirc). If there is serious demand, a floppy set can be created manually and put on some ftp server. But I don't think this is necessary. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
