52 Start-Up<br />

Standard Boot Floppy<br />

Use this option to create the standard boot floppies with which to boot an installed<br />

system. Depending on the architecture, the actual number <strong>of</strong> boot disks may vary,<br />

but you should create all the boot disks presented in the dialog because all these<br />

disks are necessary for booting. They are also needed for starting the rescue system.<br />

Rescue Floppy<br />

This disk contains a special environment that allows you to perform maintenance<br />

tasks in your installed system, such as checking and repairing the file system and<br />

updating the boot loader. To start the rescue system, boot with the standard boot<br />

disks then select Manual Installation → Start Installation or System → Rescue<br />

System. Insert the rescue disk when prompted.<br />

Custom Floppy<br />

Use this to write any existing floppy disk image from the hard disk to a floppy disk.<br />

Download Floppy Image<br />

With this, enter a URL and authentication data to download a floppy disk image<br />

from the Internet.<br />

To create one <strong>of</strong> these floppy disks, select the corresponding option and click Next.<br />

Insert a floppy disk when prompted. Click Next again to create the floppy disk.<br />

2.5.4 Boot Loader Configuration<br />

To configure booting for systems installed on your computer, use the System → Boot<br />

Loader module. A detailed description <strong>of</strong> how to configure the boot loader with YaST<br />

is available in Section “Configuring the Boot Loader with YaST” (Chapter 9, The Boot<br />

Loader, ↑Reference).<br />

2.5.5 LVM<br />

The logical volume manager (LVM) is a tool for custom partitioning <strong>of</strong> hard disks with<br />

logical drives. Find information about LVM in Section “LVM Configuration” (Chapter 2,<br />

Advanced Disk Setup, ↑Reference).
