Hi! I think the 'boot' appendix is a good idea. I am a newbie to Linux/Unix but not to the 'PC' and I like to have some kind of idea about what is going on inside the box.
I have run into one situation I have not found an easy answer to anywhere yet: I used the Ranish Partition Manager to set up my hard drive for Linux and the Advanced Boot Manager to menu the boot options, so far without problem; but, when I installed Linux I chose to boot from a floppy as I did not want to risk the possibility of messing up the functionality of the rest of my system, fearing I might not be able to boot DOS or Windoze afterwards. The problem is now I want to boot from the hard drive, using a menu choice on the boot manager, but I can find no information about how to change from one boot method to another except for references to Lilo which I don't want to start messing around with now because I already spent a week messing around with the other one and it seems to be working really well and does everything. So, maybe some information relating to that kind of thing would fit in here (if it isn't already someplace else : ) ). Thanks. Phil N
