craeting a boot floppy
 
Hi,

How can I create a boot floppy for Red Hat Linux 7.2. I am unable to go to the GUI mode due to some display driver problems and hence have access only to the root prompt. So what all do I need to do to create a boot floppy from that prompt. Thanks.

Sorry... but why do you need a boot floppy? If you can already get to the root prompt, you can fix your graphics problems from there.

All the boot floppy will allow you do is load a kernel, so if you get one it will only give you a command prompt.

hi,

could you just tell me how to create a boot floppy, i need this for another system.

about my computer, although i can login as root, i'm unable to fix the graphics problem as the graphics card on my system is onboard and it is not present in the list that is displayed when i start the x configuration tool. any ideas would be much appreciated.
