1. Having trouble with dual boot. Have tried all reasonable combinations of MS-Dos Fdisking and Mandraking. Finally got both systems installed in their own partitions. Problem: can only get Linux to boot from a floppy. I wish to avoid yet a another (nth +1) install. How can I get lilo working? Being new to Linux, I am confused, e.g., by info at www.mandrakeuser.org/admin/arecov2.tml and .../arecov2.html. I wish to have a very explicit, step-by-step process. 2. After all of this, Linux does not close gracefully! It give me something like a core dump. Here's an excerpt of some of the text that appears after many steps of close-up , including unmount of devices: oops: 0000 cpu: EIP: 0010:[<c0010acbe.} EFLAGS: 000010083 . . . process halt (pid:1421, process nr24 . . . /ect/rc.d/rc0.d/S0alt: line:1 1421 segmentation fault halt -f -i -d -p A second time around the "1421" was replaced by "1662" I am able to close-out with left-alt-sysreq-r, left-alt-sysreq-s, etc. Any help you all could give would be most appreicated by this proto-MS divorcee. /RWB
