Boot disk for SuSE

[[Mystik_Cool]]

I'm looking for an adress where I could find the boot floppy disk for the SuSE linux version (the boot disk I made seems to have been corrupted). I already searched on their site and on google, but up to now, nothing.

Thanx a lot !

It's on SuSE's ftp server. Find a mirror close to you (http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html), go to the directory for your architecture and version of SuSE Linux and you'll find a directory named "disks".

Ok, thanx for this. But what do I do with this file ? I have a file named "bootdisk", with no extension, which size is 1440 Ko. Too big for a disk.
And do I have to use a linux-formatted disk for this ? 'Cause the problem is that I cannot boot from the CD-Rom (old machine, 486, and I don't even know if it will recognize my new cd-rom drive, but that's not the question for the moment), and I need a boot-disk. But I have no linux partition for the moment. So impossible to create the disk under linux.

Oops, sorry, I simply had to read the readme file :rolleyes:

For info, here is what they say :

You can create a new boot/install floppy if you have access to either a running Linux box or a running DOS box.

Choose one of the boot images in this directory according to the list below.

Under DOS, write it to a formatted (i.e. error-free) 1.44MB-floppy using CD1:/dosutils/rawrite/rawrite.exe.

Under Linux, use a command like

cd /whereCD1isMounted/disks
dd if=./myBestBootImageAccordingToReadme of=/dev/fd0u1440

Now you have a new boot/install floppy which you can use to boot either the installed system or the rescue system from CD.

God bless the readme files !!! :)
