HELP, I screwed up my system
Hello all: This past weekend I did a raw install of hamm. I have a few problems but I got it running and fairly stabilized. Because I am The master of disaster I thought I would fiddle around with the lilo.conf. I changed it such that it now contains append=mem=64m, then ran lilo. Now when it boots, linux tell me I have 0/0 megs of memory. and then stops. Can someone tell me how I can restore the old lilo/boot or do I have to do a complete re-install of hamm again ? NOTE: I only have the debian rescue floppy to boot from. Thanks in advance Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
