Hi All, I have an intersting problem. I have a device (my old iopener) with linux installed and freeBSD (i dual boot). Both installs are really out of date, and i want to re-install linux, but i don't have a cdrom drive, or floppy drive. I only have network connection. Is there a way to add an entry in lilo to boot off a CD image, or floppy image? If anyone sees another way to install linux, i'm all hears. Thanks, --brad

Sure, just set your bootloader to point to the floppy image you want (not sure about using a CD image, that seems a bit large). I keep a copy of the Memtest86 floppy image accessible to Grub just in case: title Memtest86 kernel (hd0,2)/boot/memtest.bin Brian J.
