Re: [LUG] BOOT DISKS - FIXED

["paul" <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thansk I managed to fix it by booting the install cdrom,  going to install,
after you tell it what languages to use there is a install boot loader
option i used that and fixed it,  this is why I get for creating the wrong
disk, if you want a boot disk under suse, use the bootloader option to stick
it on to a floppy,

I am sure there should be an option under create boot disk for this but i
must have missed it.

thanks paul
