Hey Axalon !!!!!
Boy I'm always glad to get responses from you...(not that I'm mind the rest)
So your saying:
/ boot = 20 meg
/ = a lot of harddrive then swap?
swap
Does LM know what to put in /boot ????
if not, during the install what should I put in /boot?
is this my mount point?
does LILO go into /boot? (stupid question but i'm going to make sure).
if I had a hda1 (windows 98 drive) original C:\ drive how should I mount that?
Two drives one is 3.1gig with windows, the other is 13gig all for LM
We went through this once before... in it VFat or DOS ?
I'm using LAN Bridge software with my internal LAN and I will still need to use Win98
for now
once LM is up and running I'll be switching that computer over to server, but until
I'm totally
up and running I have to keep
my Windows box as the server (or my wife and daughter will kill me if they can't
"surf")
Your friend
