Re: [Trinux-talk] [OT] - Multiple boot CDROM [ or F/Ss ] from ISO's - Possible?

[reply <tb...@ti...>]

John,
  Thank you for your contribution.  It appears that you have excellent 
knowledge of the situation, and could really help this fellow out.

  Your response however, falls just short of providing any usable benefit.  
It fails to provide any insight as to how Mark might accomplish his task.

You could describe for him the boot process, and how apps like Lilo can
provide the ability to boot from several partitions.  How to configure and
install Lilo onto the floppy image and how to make it work for his
purpose.  Or you could point him to a previous post (perhaps on the
thinman list?) that might answer some of his "how to" questions.  You
might view some of my old trinux-talk postings in Nov and Dec of 2001 for
an example.

  Also, I don't know if I speak for everyone on this list...  But it is a 
generally discouraged practice to cross-post to several lists.  This is a 
quiet list, the posts are almost always relevent, and the members are 
really very helpful.  Your previous postings included other lists, and led 
to several IMHO seemingly unrelated posts to trinux-talk.

  I can understand your excitement about your project/product and I 
support your efforts 100%.  However, by cross-posting to the Trinux list, 
you are creating unneccesary and irrelevent emails to the people you are 
hoping to interest in your project.

  Please help us preserve the integrity of the trinux-talk list.

  1) Do not cross post to multiple lists.
  2) Contribute by providing information that is of real use or a 
pointer..
  3) Feel free to ask questions, but include as much specifics as 
possible when you do.

  If you feel your post is really very relevent to multiple lists, then
cut and paste the post and send it individually to each list, so that an
irrelevent thread on the thinman list, does not spill over into our
mailboxes.

  Thanks alot!  And welcome to the Trinux list!
