| | Boot Linux from a FireWire device |
| | You should now be able to boot using the floppy: it will load the kernel from the floppy, load the initrd image into RAM, wait for the root device to be recognized, and then continue to boot as normal from there. | | | If we are attempting to boot from a very small device, such as a floppy disk, the best approach is to build a kernel with just enough drivers built in to allow us to mount the root external file system -- and build everything else as modules. | | | If a floppy is not appropriate (for example, if the machine has no floppy drive), then any device that can be booted by your BIOS can be used. |

| | Automatic hard drive partitioning and X Window configuration was simple, and hardware detection correctly identified the components of our test system. | | | We had to burn a custom CD with a recompiled kernel to make SuSE work - even though it appeared that the YaST installer application might work as the installer found the Compaq media and correctly identified it. | | | SuSE 6.4 uses YaST Version 1 or 2 to install the operating system. |
