I still use mondo 1.67 and its man mondoarchive says: -l GRUB|LILO|RAW Specify the boot loader. By default, your Master Boot Record is examined and the boot loader can usually be discovered. If you specify RAW then the MBR will be backed up and restored byte-for-byte without any analysis. It is likely that you will also need to specify the boot device with -f dev. But I guess that means a disk-based GRUB. H -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mondo Frustration
Can someone here possibly help me with a little problem I am having with Mondo Archive? First of all, here is the message that I am getting when it fails: ---FATALERROR--- The de facto standard location for your boot loader's config file is /etc/lilo.conf but I cannot find it there. What is wrong with your Linux distribution? Thing is, the system I am trying to run this on does not use LILO. It uses GRUB, and boots from a floppy, so as not to alter the mbr on the main hard drive. How can I get mondo to work with a system that uses a floppy-based GRUB instead of a hard drive-based LILO?
