		Greetings: Negative - the kernel image you select is
on the boot floppy, Slack =<8.0, plus a "root" floppy to get into the
install screens.. It was all changed with 8.1 in that the image is
loaded via 'syslinux' from the bootable CD.. I'm still bogged down
with this - more later for Richard and Chuck..

    Hal - in Terra Alta, WV - Slackware GNU/Linux 8.0   (2.4.18)
