A few days  after I finished making and testing a couple of grub 
floppies the drive started making clicking and clacking noises
and refusing to even look at a floppy, I decided to go a different route 
and use an external drive.  The old one was about 11 years old.. I  
hoped I can run the grub floppies on an external dirive.  Not that I 
need to...everything boots normally ...it's just that I'd like to have 
it available.  Belt and suspenders you ,know.
Incidently, my original message was double posted because after I posted 
the original, I kept checking the list for a response and my own 
posting.  Neither was there for a few hours so I posted again..   This 
time both postings showed up immediately. Take a look at the time stamp 
on both postings..

Thanks for the info
