Re: Root image for v 1.6.15 of GNU Parted

[Leslie Katz]

Hi, Leslie. (It's a rare occasion on which I've ever been able to write
that!)

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply to my questions.

I'm not very confident of my abilities in Linux and so aren't sure what
I'd be supposed to do with the file you've kindly offered to send me.

Would I copy it to a floppy in substitution for the former root disk
and otherwise proceed in accordance with the instructions in
parted.info for v 1.6.15? In other words, boot up with the boot floppy
created from the partboot.img and then, when prompted for the root
disk, insert the floppy to which I've copied the binary?

If so or if there are other bite-sized instructions available for its
use, I'd appreciate very much your sending me the file.

Thanks again,

Leslie
