I just tried out the woody rescue and root floppies on an i586 laptop and after the kernel decompresses from the disk the system reboots. I have observed this before when a kernel is compiled for i686 or greater. If you could redo the boot disks for i386 they will work on anything faster than that. I would be happy to make the images, but my attempts always hang immediately after the line that says busybox. Just a suggestion. Thanks. -- Thomas Stivers e-mail: stivers_t at ev1.net http://stivers-home.dyndns.org
