I have been trying to make a boot disk for Linux so that I might be able
load this onto a formatted hard drive. Would some one help me? I have an old
Pentium 200 that has been playing up for a while now . I would like to run
Linux on this system and see how it goes on this computer.
Thanks in advance
Brad

Have a look at the "Linux-Bootdisk-HOWTO" from Tom Fawcett. You can find
it on:

http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO.html

have fun

If this is really what you want to do, look for ``hal91'', and install it
on a MS-DOS filesystem on the hard drive.

But, why not install a complete Linux OS instead, e.g. from a
distribution like SuSE, Red Hat, Debian, or others ?  You can
find stripped-down versions of those for less than 5US$ with
Cheap*bytes.
