Why is Redhat's EXT3 incompatible with Mandrake
On Sun, 06 Feb 2005 15:10:52 -0500, General Schvantzkoph mumbled something like this: I'm not sure about Redhat EXT3 and Mandrake being...

Dear experts,

In previous versions of Linux, I was able to create a floppy boot disk. But, when installing Redhat 3.2 Advanced Server, I was not prompted to create a boot disk.

Is it possible to create one with this version of Redhat?

I tried to use: mkbootdisk but it ran out of space.

cdlib-modules

ls gives:

2.4.21-15.EL

mkbootdisk --device dev-fd0 2.4.21-15.EL

Insert a disk indev-fd0. Any information on the disk will be lost. cp: writing `-tmp-mkbootdisk.is4a3q-initrd.img': No space left on device cat: write error: No space left on device cat: write error: No space left on device 20+0 records in 20+0 records out

ls -lamnt-floppy

total 1435 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Dec 31 1968 plus 1 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 11 15:33 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root Unbreastled 1root 0 Apr 11 18:49 boot.msg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214528 Apr 11 18:49 initrd.img -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 7856 Apr 11 18:49 ldlinux.sys -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Apr 11 18:49 syslinux.cfg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1241318 Apr 22 2004 vmlinuz

- all space used up on the floppy.

Is it possible to create a boot disk for AS 3.2? Did I just get the syntax wrong?

If not possible, what do use for emergency booting?

Thanks
