Stephen, Steve, Richard, et al, That URL for LILO reference at sourceforge says that it is possible for the LILO Boot to be loaded into a small partition below the 1024 cylinder/approximate 500Mbyte limit, with the rest of the Linux distribution(s) loaded above that limit....
It says that that small Boot Partition needs: 1.1 /boot/vmlinuz 2.2 various "lilo" files: /boot/*.b So, now, back to my questions....how much room will VMLINUZ and these /BOOT/*.B files require....could you please check their size on your system(s) and give me an estimate of how large a partition I need to whack out of one of my existing partitions which are under the 1024 cylinder limit...??? Then, according to you, and the sourceforge LILO reference, I can point my IBM Boot Manager at the LILO on that small BootPartition and ...voila..!!!!....should be able to use THAT lilo to boot either of the Linux distros on their "upper" partitions... .....gregy -- This mail was written by user of Arachne, the Ultimate Internet Client
