Re: Howto install w/o floppies

Here are a couple of corrections.

--
-- 3.  Create a blank image (.img file of about 3Meg)
--       dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/myinitrd.img block=1024 count=3000
--

3. Should have been: 
          dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/myinitrd.img bs=1024 count=3000
     dd doesnot have a "block" command as Richard found out. I should have
     been more careful.

--
-- 4. .  Create a filesystem on this image. (The .img files are "linux"
--     extended filesystems)
--      /sbin/mke2fs /tmp/myinitrd.img 3000
 -    This will "format" the /tmp/initrd.img as an extended filesystem.

      This will provide a warning like:
       " /tmp/initrd.img is not a block special device. Continue ?"
       Just hit "y" at the prompt.

Let me know if anybody finds any problems with the remaining 
steps.
