I recently installed the mighty RedHat 6.0 and it is great! The only thing
is though that when it gets to the make a boot floppy stage, it fails, so
after much toying around with all sorts of stuff, I used Loadlin with a
kernel image. This works OK, i.e. I can get into Red Hat, though there are
plenty of errors in the start up (in nice red colour!).

My question is how do I make a boot disk when I am *in* Linux? And though I
have read the man pages for LILO, it still doesn't seem to want to install
(I was hesitant with 5.2 so preferred the disc) and right now, I reallllllly
want it!

If LoadLin is as effective as the other methods, how do I make a better
kernel for my system? Or kernel image is more what I mean I think... what
needs to be done? I know that some might say to go and read the man pages,
and I will, if you can tell me the names of the commands that I need to read
about!
