RE: Lilo: How to install it? ( Part II )
Thanks to all that have posted to this thread. Last night finally got it to work and no more boot from floppy ;o) The final lilo.conf was: boot=/dev/hda install=/kernel/boot/boot.b map=/kernel/boot/map delay=50 timeout=70 compact prompt default=Win95 image=/kernel/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 label=Linux vga=normal other=/dev/hda1 label=Win95 table=/dev/hda All the prior faulty attemps were solved using lilo -u, that restore the boot record in /dev/hda1 which I had as boot originally. FYI, I found very helpfull tips in these urls: http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/ - Very nice Linux HOWTO by Greg Hankins http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/mini/Linux+Win95.html - Handy one by Jonathan Katz http://www.compuclinic.com/osr2faq/ - for those who are using Win95 OSR2 Best regards, ** Ivan Rojas Liikkuva Systems Intl.

Make the following changes and re-run LILO. That should fix you up! I would fix him up if the Win95 boot sector hadn't already been overwritten. As is, that will just keep the problem from happening again. This guy has got to sys c: from Win95 as well, to restore the old 95 boot sector. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Lilo: How to install it? ( Part II )
Well, tanks to all that helped me last week with the lilo problem, but I'm stil in trouble with it. I got Lilo to boot, I mean when the computer starts lilo appears asking for what OS to launch. If I select Linux it goes ok, but if I select Win95 ( default ) it will launch lilo again!(??) My lilo.conf is: boot=/dev/hda1 install=/kernel/boot/boot.b map=/kernel/boot/map delay=50 timeout=70 compact prompt default=Win95 image=/kernel/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 label=Linux vga=normal other=Win95 label=Win95 loader=/kernel/boot/chain.b And my partitions: /dev/hda1 -- Win95 /dev/hda2 -- Linux partition mounted in /kernel ( about 10 MBytes big at the end of hda ) /dev/hdb -- Linux mounted in / I really appreciate any help. ** Ivan Rojas Liikkuva Systems Intl.

Lilo howto install it?
Sorry for get back to the same question, I bet that millions of times you have solved this answer but this is the first time I ask it :o) I got Debian 1.3 in CDs and installed in my second hard drive, guess what is in the first one... anybody sayed windoze95? Well the thing is I tryed creating a small partition in the first HD ( 50Mb ) to install LILO in there. I select the LILO package in dselect but seems that is not being installed. I created a lilo.conf file and didn't work either. Am I missing something? read the man and FAQ's but no so much about it. Thanks for your help! ** Ivan Rojas Liikkuva Systems Intl. RD Engineer/Sys.
