Steve Litt's article (Litt's Lilo Lessons) is without doubt the best
article I have ever read on lilo.
But as you know knowledge is a dangerous thing and I have a few
simple questions.
(I have sent them to Steve but he may not answer and I know many of
you are just as knowledgeable)
My disk is setup in the following partitions.
hda1 /boot 100 Meg
hda2 / (for DOS) 2 Gig
hda3 / (for Slackware 7.0) 2 Gig
hda4 extended
hda5 / (for Mandrake 7.1) 2 Gig
hda6 / (for Caldera 2.4) 2 Gig
hda7 / (for Experimental) 2 Gig
hda8 / (for CDRW scratch) 800 Meg
hda9 / (for swap) 100 Meg
question 1 Do I set hda1, hda2, hda3, hda5, hda6 and hda7 to
bootable in cfdisk?
question 2 Where is the lilo that contains the information that sets
up all the partitions?
question 3 What is the function of hda1? I assume it holds common
information about the overall setup.
question 4 Since, there is a /boot in all the distribution roots how
does the /boot (hda1) function?
