Okay, I'm on the same page now. But still a little confused. I'm guessing |
| 9 |
install floppy |
| 10 |
for cases in where one cannot boot from a cd or no cd is present (older |
| 11 |
machines). |
| 12 |
So if this was the case, why a 2.6 kernel? You could do it with a 2.2 or 2.4 |
| 13 |
oldschool style, |
| 14 |
and get it dropped back to one disk. It wont really matter what kernel is on |
| 15 |
the disk,as long |
| 16 |
as it runs it, everything going to the hd will be totally different anyhow. |
| 17 |
Just a thought. |
