[Rule-list] Images seem to work well

[Gordon Buzowetsky]

  Hi all....I'm kinda new here....friends usually call me gordo...I hope I'm
posting in the right place.  I've been around Linux for a couple years, and
I like the concept of what you all are trying to accomplish here,
unfortunately my nix experience is not RH based so please bear with
me....but anyway...I downloaded the 0.7.0 images...boot.img, oldcdrom.img,
and drvnet.img.
  Made the floppies with rawrite and plugged boot.img into my old 486 DX2
w/16meg ram.   It booted flawlessly...and actually much faster than I
thought it ever could; from a floppy based boot anyway.

  I have a 2x cdrom (creative) hooked to a SB16 soundcard...I tried using
the 'linux dd' boot option and it went well; switched over to the cdrom
menu.  Unfortunately this is where my testing must stop for now....as I
don't have current RH 7.2 disks and I'm not sure if the installer found my
cdrom.  I tried this on my athlon...all went well but;  but seems the
installer didn't like the look of my RH 5.1 disk....and then it told me it
couldn't find a RH disk...:-))   Will be getting current RH disks ASAP....

  Is there anyway I can get a 'dmesg' up???   I tried switching consoles
after booting but I'm not real sure about what I'm looking at there....not
familiar enough with the RH installer to know.  And also what parameters
should I add in to the menu...for the old cd drive??

Also...guess it helps to do the 'readme' thing.....I thought all three
should have been bootable..:-))....after the second download and
re-make....I thought the disks weren't any good....then I did  the
readme....aha....the other two are driver disks.....(bonehead should maybe
read the docs first!!!!)    But seriously,  could they be possibly sorted in
a subdirectory as to 'boot.img' and then supplemental driver disks....to
avoid confusion for newbs like me...:-))

Later...G
