hello, can someone tell me how to create a boot disk for redhat9 without installing redhat again. I know i can do it when I install rh but is there another way to do it?

thanks a lot

do
uname -r

take a note of the number

mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 <kernel number you just outputted>

Use mkbootdisk

/sbin/mkbootdisk 2.4.20-8

(This assumes floppy drive is mounted on /dev/fd0, and change 2.4.20-8 to whatever your kernel is)

EDIT:

why am i always a second too late in replying???!?! ARGH
