Yes, the linux boot floppy is alive an well. I think Udo doesn't know linux very well :) Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Premier GPL Web Browser/Suite for DOS --Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Udo, I have several Linux boot floppies that far exceed anything a DOS boot floppy can do. They don't need any "famous" DOS info tools, or any other DOS tools. I can surf the net, telnet, ssh, and download email with them, all while multitasking. They'll give me info on every piece of hardware connected and spell out the parameters of each. They'll partition the hardrive into different file systems including VFAT and DOS. I haven't used any floppies tho in two years, no need, flashdrives hold alot more data. I carry business card CDs in my wallet that have complete OSs on them plus as many apps as a lot of desktops and do complete repair and recovery of a downed system, including DOS and windo$e, or pull data from a totally crapped system. Also Linux has become BIG in the embedded market, far more versatile, powerfull and reliable, than DOS. BTW, kernels too big for a HD? Gimmee a break! Udo, you are always coming up with some of the goofiest antiLinux propaganda that only someone who doesn't use Linux, could ever hope to believe. Rob
