Good questions - why not ask the loadlin maintainer, or at least bring it up on -devel? : When the SLINK distribution was frozen, why weren't the installation : documents upgraded as well? They should address the fact that the 1.73Mb : floppy will not work for some machines and that a separate ROOT floppy is : also needed in addition to the usual disks if a floppy install is done. It won't work at all, so Enrique is making 1.44 images instead. His net connection blows so they've been a bit slow to appear. If you can do better, please do so. : Why hasn't a LINUX kernel file been included with the SLINK distribution to : allow for installation with the loadlin.exe program without the file system : errors the floppy version of the LINUX kernel file causes? Uh, what errors? : Has anyone noticed that the frozen SLINK distribution is _exactly_ the same : as the proposed "new" potato distribution? Duh; any future release will begin life as the current release. Since most of the work is going towards frozen rather than unstable right now I fail to see why this is such a shocker. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
