I still dont get response to following questions despite the Bootdisk and
other How To + docs :

copying a ram image that is found on my Install cd of redhat. If it s yes,
there s a file on my Install cd that is the ram disk image..what is it s
filename..If no, how come some people ask to put a ram disk image on a
floppy..or treat Ram disk as if it s something touchable..creatable..How
does it work ?
