-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Interesting you should bring this up. I assume you are talking about the slackware makebootdisk script? I would think the ready-made bootdisks from slackware would be ok. I just upgraded to Slackware 10.0 in place and never used any pre-made bootdisks but I now have a problem with lilo based floppies. Lilo never comes up anymore but if I use syslinux to boot with floppies that seems to work ok but I can't seem to pass variable parameters to the command line for some reason. Lilo still works on the hard drive though, thank God. On Fri, Jul 16, 2004 at 11:04:20AM -0700, Ralph W. Reid wrote: > Did you get any warnings or errors when making the boot disks?
