Hello :-) SUSE Linux used to offer floppies images on the /boot directory of the first disk. these images couls be made from linux or from Windows. There where a windows start app on the first cd and inserting it in a windows machine gave the choice of booting linux (the cd) or making floppies. this is no more available (10.0). There is a perl utility (mkbootdisk) that build the (7) floppies. so: * where are the floppies images? Looks like they are cat'ed (on the "rescue" 21Mb file?) - how are they built with the script, reading it didn't gave me enough clues, * if so why does rawrite still exist in the cd? don't seem anymore usefull. (perl is not that usual on windows :-) * what is the real + in this system? are the 64 bits floppies so similar to 32 one is enough to change just some bits? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
