[thelist] Dual Boot Help - Linux Boot Disk

[Jed Farr]

You might want to have a look at:

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html

also, most distributions seem to come with some bootdisks for use with
systems that can't boot from the cdrom. Mine does (slackware), I'm not
familiar with Mandrake, but I'd be surprised if it didn't come with
bootdisks.

HTH,

Jed.
