boot floppy

[Pär Lidén]

Just saw this other option:
On your working Ubuntu system, you can install sbm. To do this, you should
open open System (from thetop panel) -> Administration -> synaptic package
manager. Search for sbm, and install only the package named just 'sbm'. Then
in a terminal type
sbminst -d /dev/fd0 (assuming you have a formatted floppy in your floppy
drive).

Yes, I know that for some kinds of hardware, Linux is quite difficult to
use. So, in some cases, Linux is still somewhat just for the geeks...
