Thanks for the help. However "booting installed sys" from CD1 doesn't work entirely, it won't load USB. Also the fsck fails as filesys is not read-only. On the point of using dd to recreate the floppy from CD1. When I reboot the box, I just get a blank screen. What I really want is the graphic boot menu to choose win, linux 2.2, linux 2.4, memtest etc. that you get with the initial boot-floppy created on installation. I can't find any info (in suse-help) on how to do that, unless I'm looking in the wrong places! I'll try to track down more info from the net or other source, but if anyone has got any ideas I'd be happy to hear them.

While using WinME to update a McAfee AV rescue (floppy)disk I put the LILO disk in instead [it had the same colour label! :~( ] and only realised when I took the disk out. Could some "patient" member of this list provide me with the details on how to recreate the LILO boot (floppy)disk without being able to boot into Linux. I'd rather not have to reinstall it, if possible! TIA MH
