I'm reading the docs accompanying SYSLINUX where it says:-
++++ CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX FLOPPY +++
In order to create a bootable Linux floppy using SYSLINUX, prepare a
normal MS-DOS formatted floppy. Copy one or more Linux kernel files to
it, then execute the DOS command:
syslinux [-s] a:
Now before I run this program, I'd like to know which 'one or more Linux
kernel files' I'm supposed to copy...
Can someone give me an example of one? Are the required files in the
archive or do I have to go some place else?
I don't find these instructions easy to follow at all especially when so
much seems to be assumed. Is it so hard to be a little bit more specific?
I have been following some links related to the Linux Router Project and
would like to install a minimal Linux on a CF disk.
