Hi Richard,

Chopped off the contents ..................... I screwed up my grub 
menu.lst file in /boot/grub - this is after getting Linspire up and 
running on a fresh install - BUT I killed it on going to CNR which after 
installing an update of the CNR programme killed my keyboard, mouse, 
nic. Oh well UBUNTU here I come!

What I need to do is create a bootable linux floppy - that will read my 
hard disk - I then need to have a very small editor on it so I can edit 
my menu.lst file. I downloaded debian and created two floppies - ash and 
nano could not access (mount) hard disk. I have also got a grub boot 
floppy but there's nothing to edit menu.lst with ........................

So, is it possible to create a bootable linux floppy via dos with an 
editor? If so how?

Regards,

David
