[wplug] Making a RedHat 9 bootdisk

[John Harrold]

Sometime in June Ed Stewart assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Thanks Don. I did a google search before posting my question and found 
| just what you told me but the results are the same,here is what I get
| 
| [root at localhost stewart]# mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd1 2.4.20-0
| bash: mkbootdisk: command not found
| [root at localhost stewart]#
| 
| Got any idea what's wrong? Ed

possibly your path: mkbootdisk is installed in /sbin

$ which mkbootdisk
/sbin/mkbootdisk

by default this is not in your path. if you su'ed to root without the -,
then it wont be in your path either. 

ie  'su' vs 'su -'.

or it might not be installed. under redhat 9 it's in the mkbootdisk-1.5.1-1
package. if you're using an rpm based distro you can try

rpm -qa |grep mkbook

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
