Have u tried it ?? well i did.. it does'nt seems to work.. well ok lilo does
compiles wothout cribing, but once u are thru and reboot the system, It
freezes after displaying 'LI' , After geting to this stage, i panicked and
instead of finding a solution on the web went ahead by creating a partion
for
boot (thus laying grave for my d: partition in windoze *sob*).
in short my new problem is why does lilo hangs after showing 'LI' , and how
to get around it ...
