Normal VCD?
Not yet tried.
Can i ask you,
if i boot with windows ME start-up disk, apply fdisk /mbr to remove grub,
after that, how can I create a floppy bootdisk for suse so that i can use the floppy to boot suse that is installed in my HDD?

2. Menu=>Yast=>System=>Boot or Rescue Floppy

it needs 8 floppy, so many?
can we do it on a blank CDR?

download "boot.iso" from same mirror you downloaded dvd image and burn it. You can also use your dvd install disk. When booted from it select "boot from harddisk" instead of "installation". Otherwise you might want to create external floppy bootdisk from here:

The Linux Kernel is getting bigger and bigger everytime a new version is launched.
YaST will split the kernel into many pieces and help you fit it on a floppy drive.

Hello duffmckagan! I know it's not a case, but since you're from India, I thought to mention it. I posted some pics from my trip to India and Nepal at www.kde-look.org
The last one called "tadj"

TigerLinux · 10-15-2005, 10:53 AM

Hey SlackerLX, have you tried Gag?

I have heard about it some time ago, but did not prefer that over GRUB.
