Hey All,

I am trying to install e-smith on an old pc (p1 120 mhz). I am unable to boot form the CD-Rom and would like to to use a Floppy instead. Problem is, I can't find the boot image for e-smith. Itried using the redhat and slackware boot images but they obvioulsy did not work. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look in the 'how to's' it all in there. I had the same problem and once you burn the cd there is a dir with a program in there. Dont have the cd with me now but go and check out the how to's coz thats were i found it.

Yes all the images you need are included on the E-smith CD.
There are instructions on teh CD as well.
You will use rawrite to create the boot disk.

HI Scott,

Where do I find these images. They are not on the CD that I burnt. Nor can I find them in any of the e-smith FTP folders.

By the way I burnt the ISO folder of the 4.1.2 realease.

If you burned the 4.1.2 ISO properly, you have a directory on the CD called images, and the boot.img file is there. If you have an .iso file on your CD, you just burned a coaster, and need to learn how to burn a CD from an image file.
