 Fedora boot disk problems Hi: I'm fairly new to Fedora, but I'm having a bit of a problem creating a boot disk for the os. I've tryed using the rdev command, but for some reason, it (or any of its aliases) cannot be found on the system. Can anyone tell me where to find these commands on Fedora (or anything that can help me select and view root devices)? Thanks alot, - Abhra      |

"man mkbootdisk" for details... > Can anyone tell me where to find these commands on Fedora (or anything > that can help me select and view root devices)? [john@starfleet john]$ which rdev|xargs rpm -qf util-linux-2.12-14 "rdev" is part of the util-linux package. -- -John (john@os2.dhs.org) |

Recent versions of the Linux kernel are not made to be written directly to floppy disk without a boot loader. -- If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? (Think about it) |
