This is kind of sad. My problem is that there are some BIOS on which CDs
made
with isolinux do not boot, so I thought I could solve the problem using
floppies.
But to produce a single floppy containing both initrd.gz and vmlinuz
takes a lot
of time to produce because you have to make both very small and it is not
easy. Maybe I can manage to do it but I'd prefere finding some better
solution.
Is there anything I can do for PCs where the isolinux CDs do not boot?
Thanks,
