Ummm ... No Floppy Drive, and, although we have a working drive {What a Relic!}, we have no diskettes for it.
Before anyone mentions burning CD's {or perhaps after} I do not have a CD Burner.
I have a perfectly good Win98SE Partition that boots great to DOS. I have LoadLin. Now all I need are the correct files to work with LoadLin to get it to start.
I have a file called linux, apparently the kernel itself. I have a file, initrd, which appears to be the initial ramdisk, and there's another file, called default, which appears to be a settings file for getting started.
When I loadlin linux initrd=initrd default, it says that the file is not in the correct format and halts.
What files do I need, and where can I get them? Love & Friendship & Blessed Be! Lynn Erika Kilroy _________________________________________________________________Is your PC infected?
