One reason I prefer a small floppy image is so I can remotely load an image on to a RILO card.. The Compaq RIB cards come with the ability to load a floppy image remotely.. really nice feature to have.. However.. CD's are so cheap these days.. I don't see why you can't use those either..

Floppies are a losing solution going forward because the kernel and needed support for things keeps growing yet floppies are fixed at 1.44 megs :( Cheers, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
