Create boot disk for SUSE 9.3
I'm preparing to reinstall SUSE 9.3 on a 2nd hard drive (XP on 1st drive) and was wondering if it's possible to create a floppy boot disk so that:
1. The XP boot sequence won't be affected.
2. I only use the floppy when I want to boot SUSE.
I don't plan to use SUSE that often, just checking it out getting a feel for Linux. Thanks

During the installation there is a screen from which you can select your packages, partition your hard drives, etc. There is also a section that will allow you to modify your bootloader configuration. Go into the Bootloader section and specify installation of the bootloader to floppy disk.
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Thanks for the reply. I remember seeing some boot options available the 1st time I installed SUSE but I didn't pay much attention. I'll give it a try tonight.

Well finally got around to it and all went fine. I found the option to write the boot loader to a floppy. Strange thing is that when I try to view the files on the floppy there is nothing there to see. Tried with Windows and Linux same thing, blank. But it works! Strange. Anyhow, thanks again.
