There are others, such as LiLo, osbs; OS/2 & NT (??) both come with one. You probably don't need to care about this. Generally, if booteasy doesn't work, just read the FAQ. You will not boot UNIX from a floppy, other than the initial install floppy, which can be used to install or in combo with a rescue disk. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
