What the other guy said (as well as me). Make a 2.88 floppy, then use ram
images for the rest. Sort of like how redhat, suse and others do it. (second
stage, loading ramdisk.....).

Hello Kurt,
thanks for your reply.
What I wanted to do is to pack all three disks: bootdisk modules1 modules2
on ONE cd.
Most of my computers don't have floppy tapes but cdroms. I'm in need for a suse boot-cd that allows me to load the necessary modules for my nic and then run the ftp-installation.
any ideas ?
I think the limit of 2.88 megs is the problem.....
It would be nice to select the harddrive-emulation and copy all files in a "harddrive" folder. So far no problem, but how can I copy the lilo boot-record on the cd ? Any ideas ?
Thanks again for your help, Gunther

boot cd's are essentially a kludge, there is a 1.44 or 2.88 meg file that the computer pretends is on floppy disk and boots from it, so you have it boot from the single floppy, and then load the others as needed.

I'd like to create a boot-cd that contains the three suse boot-disks: bootdisk,modules and modules2.
What's necessary in order to do that ?
Thanks a lot, Gunther
