Pelo jeito vc esta no prompt de comando do grub tente criar o arquivo /boot/grub/menu.lst com as entradas do(s) seu(s) sistema(s). Em /usr/share/doc/grub/examples tem um exemplo completo. Agora se vc quer o lilo creio que so executar #lilo ele ja grava na MBR, se estiver enganado alguem me corrija... -- Debian user:629 FaRaOhh - Marcello Henrique Inhumas - Goiás
Re: Boot managers
About the boot manager I can't say nothing more, just read all the doc available on this subject. By the way you can find tons of documentation in every debian's ftp site, just lok for '.../LDP' directory. There's the Linux Documentation Project. Under this project was release a quick start manual for newbies written by Matt Welsh. I've got the Spanish transltion and I don't know what is its exactly english title but it must be something like this: 'Linux: Installation and First Steps'. If you preffer the web you can reach the LDP via http://www.linux.org. Good luck. ___ Even God discusses the details with the devil. (Anonymous) Antonio A.

Re: Boot managers
There is a 'UNIX for Dummies' book. It might be helpful in getting you through some of the userland basics, but it won't be much help as far as sysadminning goes. You can use lilo to dualboot the system, eliminating the need for a boot disk. Attached is a sample of my lilo.conf for booting Windoze as the default, and Linux. ie, to choose windows, I press enter, otherwise type linux as the prompt for Linux. In Linux go 'man lilo' for more information. Remember you'll need to re-run Lilo after configuring a suitable lilo.conf for your system.

I CAN do this right? When installing did you choose to boot debian from the hard disk (or install boot manager or whatever the question is that means the same thing ... ) ? If so, then you need some help with lilo. Install the man pages package and man lilo will help. Otherwise install lilo and man pages and continue. There is also a partition manager for operation under a windows system that is completely free and installs a quite good boot manager. IIRC this is the Ranish Partition Manager or something like that. I'm still very confused on how to use this Unix thing. better go borrow some books from the library. Is there a Linux for dummies? =) However, Actually there is such a book - good intro but YMMV I am proud to say I am a Linux user! Congratulations and welcome to the ever expanding family. Thanks again, Tony Hope the above helps. Ivan.
Re: Boot managers
I've been using Boot Control for some time and have no complaints. You can find it at http://www.xs4all.nl/~gklein/bcpage.html. Good luck.

I CAN do this right? Other people have given you lilo advice so I won't bother here. lilo has an excellent manpage. You might also want to look into loadlin. It lets you boot linux from dos (and Win95 if you check the advanced run in MSDOS mode box) It just shoves DOS away and boots itself, rather neat, but it doesn't always initialize hardware perfectly.

There's a UNIX for Dummies, though I've never read it so I can't give you a review. Many people I know rave about Running Linux by O'Reilly. Since I already had some DEC OSF/1 experience I got O'Reilly's Essential System Administration which has been invaluable in my quest to never boot windows again! -Dan
