My suggestion is use a gentoo live cd (go with x86 no stages). Just mount your hdx to /mnt/... -----Original Message----- From: Norm Legare [mailto:normlegare@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 3:57 PM To: wlug@mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] RedHat 7.1 boot floppy Hi All, My desktop has 2 hard drives, one with Windows, one with Linux. By inserting the floppy, it boots Linux. Unfortunately, the floppy just stopped working (I get the Linux prompt, but then booting reports disk failure) for some reason. I need to retrieve several files on the Linux hard drive. I have RedHat 7.1 on cd. Can a new boot floppy be made while preserving the existing Linux installation?
