If 2)
A reasonable distribution should have a floppy boot image somewhere on one
of the CDs. There should also be a utility to put that image on a floppy
and intructions on how to use it.
A less general answer will require more information from you.

1. Transferrring Linux Installation w/o Installation Media
Hi!
How do I transfer a perfect Linux installation from one partition to
another WITHOUT THE INSTALLATION MEDIA provided that I have a rescue
disk?
I tried it in a naive way:
- I went into rescue mode and created a new partition of type Linux
Native. The partition refused to mount so I had to install a
minimalist older version (RH 6)on it separately
- It mounted after that and I tried to copy the /bin /boot /etc and
/sbin directories. I changed the lilo.conf in the new partition to
point to the new partition as root
- I tried to run /sbin/lilo from the new partition specifying it to
use lilo.conf from the new partition but it refused to run reporting a
problem with boot.b
- Since I had to free up the old partition anyway, I ended up with
a RH 6 installation instead of RH 7 and waiting to get hold of the
latter's CD!
Please help me out on this so that I (and other newbies in the group)
know how to get out of this muck.
Thanks
