Thanks "sajjadc" for the reply. Is ther any way to make it through GUI .Just like we craete a bootable Bisk in win98. Does Linux have any option instead of CLI ?

1) Get used to the command line. It doesn't bite, and one can provide CLI instructions *much* faster than gui instructions.
2) probably wm/desktop-environment specific; digging out some information on what you have might get you more help.
3) I don't have the slightest idea of what it is you want.

I recommend that you read `Smart Questions' (ESR), and `Bug Reports' (linked to by SQ).

thnx to jonas and gardnier
in GNOME and KDE has no graphical bootdisk creation utility,
so plz use by terminal or command prompt(ctrl+alt+f1)

Thanks "jonaskoelker"
Ok i see the mkbootdisk command & use
#mkbootdisk --device/dev/fd0 'uname -r

This is a new thing for me plz guide with the proper steps so that i can make the bootdisk using CLI
another way i see is

dd if=vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0
I write the command in the terminal but LInux gives an error like ...."No file found"
