hello guys.

i've been digging through the mail list archive for a few days, to no 
avail. i hope you can help me :
i want to create a bootable DOS image, approximately 25MB , to boot a 
system from the network, using PXELINUX .
now, i've followed some instructions on this list, but the image always 
fails to boot.
the only thing which succeeds, is to take a bootable DOS disk, put it in 
the floppy drive, do a "dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dos.img", and provide this 
image in the config files. 
alas, i need more space than a single floppy, so can someone help?
some generic instructions on how to create a bootable image for the 
memdisk feature, or a pointer to some, would be gr8.

thanks.

p.s. please cc me, im not subscribed....
