Cory, thanks for the response. No it isn't. The partition table looks fine and I am
able to access the drive just fine. The drive I am working with is the primary boot
drive and the other drive has been disabled. (I have two IDE drives, the first/primary
is active and used for Linux)
Should I re-install without a win95 partition..? Can't imagine that's a problem,
since when I look at the partition table using fdisk, it shows me the root and the
remainder of the disk as primary (3%) and ext2 (97%) file types... so I think the
partition table is ok...
Group:
I took Cory's advice and still can't believe I am having so much trouble so early on...
So...I read in the Chapter 11 about rescue mode and read my refresher on Unix. The
command as written in the book does not work,
"Mount /dev/hda1 /mnt -t ext2"
it corrects my (the book's) syntax by saying "" mount -t <fs> <device> <dir> ""
Fine, so I re-typed it with this syntax and file structure /ext2 and got my hard disk
and was able to look around. I saw my basic commands in bin as well as the lilo.conf
using ls -al. So I figured, instead of messing with the path, I just cd bin and do
"more /usr/bin lilo.conf"
but 'more' or 'ed' or any of the bin functions to look or edit do not work except 'df'
which works once I mounted my root or my hda1... the error when loading 'more' is
<<error in loading shared libraries>>
using 'set' I see that my lib directory is in both Library path and regular path...
but I am unable to change the path info to remove path vars like Chapter 11 suggests.
"set path=/mnt/bin:/mnt/usr/bin ... " does not change the path vars...
now I in am over my head... help...

Is this partition the first one on the disk? It has to be or Lilo has
problems creating the MBR.
Good Luck,
Cory
