Hi,

I've read the manual and still had some questions that hadn't been answered.

Take a look at them and see if you can be bothered to update your 
documentation to answer them.

Thank you for your time.

The Questions
=========
“I’ve got a 90 MHz Pentium which can’t boot  CDs. I’ve got a Red Hat 8 
(Publisher’s Edition) which must be booted from CD. What is the GRUB 
configuration file needed to achieve booting from CDROM? I still have a 
floppy disk drive that can be booted from. I’m reviewing a “RH8 for Dummies” 
book for the Association of C & C++ Users (www.accu.org/terse/unix.htm) and 
would like to incorporate the fix because the book’s CDs insist that the PC 
boots from them.

THINKING ABOUT HARD DISKS – this might be something to go in one of your 
manuals.
In a hard disks Cylinder, Head and Sector mode… Is the first 
sector(C=0,H=0,S=0) the MBR (the Master Boot Record). Do cylinder usage skip 
cylinder 0 (as used by MBR) and start at the second cylinder (C=1,H=0,S=0) ? 
If they do then aren’t we wasting a load of sectors in cylinder 0?
