G'Mornin' Gang,


Can someone please give me a hand with a "dual boot" problem?

I've finally gotten Linux, (Mandrake 7.1), up on my home machine.  In the
process I managed to cripple Win98. (Gosh! ... What a surprise!)

Anyway ... I'd like to make a 'Linux boot diskette' before I try to
re-install Windows again.  {I'm afraid I'll overwrite Lilo and end up with a
large electronic paperweight again.}

Can someone tell me or point me to the command (or series of commands) to
create a 'Linux boot diskette'?


Much Thanks!!


Ron L.
