- The only "pboot" I know of is my modification of Linus' "edit" program.
- Its purpose is only to modify a boot image so that it will use the hard
- disk as the root file system rather than use a floppy as the root file
- system.
- You still need to boot from a floppy until you install boolin, shoelace,
- lilo or some such.
