You'll need to install grub. (^_^) (^_^) One of the cool things about grub is that only the very small 1st stage is (^_^)loaded into the mbr. The second stage is loaded from /boot and the whole (^_^)process is controlled by the menu.lst profile at bootup... its dynamic too... (^_^)so that it can be changed on the fly (grub commands) at bootup and it can be (^_^)changed with an editor while the machine is running.... no need to reload the (^_^)mbr every time a change is made (as in lilo). (^_^) (^_^) Well, we missunderstood your situation. I thought you were booting with grub (^_^)and experiencing difficulty.... I did not realize that you were booting from (^_^)lilo. <sorry> (^_^) (^_^) Good night... I've had enough for one day. (^_^)M Harris <>< No, I should apologize because it was grub I was getting the error message, but during the "try darn near ANYTHING" mode I was in, I had installed lilo while installing another distro and I think the lilo entry in the mbr was still there. I should have made that part clearer, I did wipe the mbr and tried everything again, but it's still giving me headaches. I did in fact try installing lilo and it said that "sh: /sbin/lilo: no such file or directory. Can't win for losing I guess. I am really blurry eyed right now, so like you, I'm finally going to call it a night. Thanks for all your help!
