SDB:Unable to create boot or rescue floppy disks

From openSUSE


Situation

You need to create floppy or rescue diskettes with YAST, but every time you try to do this you get the following error message:

"An error occured while copying the image file to the floppy disk. Verify that a valid floppy is in the drive and that you have root permissions then try again."

You have tried to perform the operation with a new floppy disk but you keep getting the same error message. This problem is caused because the syslinux package was not installed during the initial installation.

Procedure

In order to solve this problem and ensure you can create boot or rescue floppy disks, you will need to install the syslinux package in YAST.
