BTW: PCLOS is very nice isn't it?
derek
For getting office staff system users started, PCLOS rocks.
My boss could not drag himself away from it to-night as I signed off,
and no other livecd had him interested.
So here's hoping that I get to at least dual boot the workstations at
work, that way the folks at PCLOS will get some real support.
Now, back to nailing my problems here. Will keep you posted.
Er..... one thing.
I'm about to re-activate the MDK10 lilo and get all my options back
online.
Does this appear correct for getting the links right for lilo to point
back to PCLOS.
image=/boot/vmlinuzpclos.img < my link made within PCLOS [ only one
partition used for the installation ] which is at hdb5 - MDK10 is all
at hda >
label="PCLOS"
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrdpclos.img < my other link made as above ie
[# ln -s /boot/initrd-blah.img /mnt/hda1/initrd.img ] >
append="noapic acpi=on splash=silent devfs=nomount
vga=788
read-only
My concern here is that the vmlunuz and initrd files on hdb5 are both
pointed to, so that lilo knows what is going on and that the
referrences are correct ( ie the links are pointing correctly )
When done within konsole I appear to be having no problems with the
making of the links. ( No red flashing names - good newbie feature
that. )
To finish up for now here are the open entries for my
/etc/shorewall/interfaces
net ppp+ detect
loc eth0 detect
Everything else is commented out ( hashed ) I have done nothing to
this file ever.
Right - rescue disk for PCLOS first then jumping right in.

Or should I just be doing the other thing :
other=/dev/hdb5
image=/boot/vmlinuz.img
label="PCLOS"
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="noapic acpi=on splash=silent devfs=nomount
vga=788
read-only
Again, Regards
