Don't do this. Just use lilo so you can boot dos or Linux. > - how do I allow DOS to be booted from a LILO prompt? If your dos partition is the first partition of your first HD (IDE) you could add the following lines to the end of your /etc/lilo.conf file: other = /dev/hda1 table = /dev/hda label = dos You would want to make sure that you had a reasonable timeout or a prompt from lilo. Timeout's for lilo are in 10ths of a second. As you can see there are a few things you'll want to know about lilo before you start messing around. Look at the documentation found by doing: zless /usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz Then you can change your /etc/lilo.conf file to your liking and afterwards don't forget to run /sbin/lilo to put the changes into effect. > - dselect > - can only search for package names, not sections. > - suggestion: allow search for sections > - vicious circle > - libc5-dev, libnet, libc5 > - recommends all be installed, so I hit return > - but I don't get back to package selection, I am given > given the conflict resolution info > - I hit space, then return. same cycle over and over > - so I remove libc5-dev and hit Q > - kinda slow: any way for it to omit all of the > "Skipping deselected package " cmds? > I'll leave these questions to those deep in the knowledge of the inner workings of dselect/dpkg. > -- > terrence brannon [EMAIL PROTECTED] telephones: home: 818-844-6401 > 360 S.
