Re: Boot to execute lilo

There was a similar question few days/weeks ago; the way I do it is to boot off an install cd, mount the system fs at /mnt/foo; and do chroot /mnt/foo. Then I can play with the system, as if I booted normally. The tricky part is to resolve which partition your system resides on ;-) This

Hi I overwrote my MBR while installing another OS. Now I just want to boot the installed Debian testing system to execute lilo. How can I do this using an (unoffical) Debian testing install dvd? I have an old SuSE CD, where I have the option 'boot installed system', where I could boot my system

Re: USB printer: no such device

Thank you guys for your hints. Now I found out why it's not working: I have to load uhci. Reason: I had recompiled the kernel and the new uhci modules was called uhci instead of usb-uhci (because it's the alt one). So, there is a diffence between the compiled version and the kernel source
