Re: Installing lilo on second hard disk

2001-05-21 Thread punt45ACP
Make a tiny partition (<= 15MB) on /dev/hda1 with mountpoint /boot. Have LiLo run from there... I guess you want to move it, because you want to run M$-Vaporware. If that's the case, use BootMagic from PowerQuest. That'll nest in the 1st primary partition and you can have it point to a LiLo on a

The fact that windoze can't be booted is NOT lilo related. For example: try setting the windoze partition active (using fdisk, partition magic, or whatever tool you've got at hand). You'll see that windoze will not boot. What I don't understand is how you've been able to install windoze on a non

I see you've got your windoze on the 3rd HDD. The problem with M$-(win)doze is that they HAVE TO RUN from the 1st (primary!) partition on the 1st HDD. An exception is Neanderthal Technology, which can be ran from other partitions (you still have to have the bootmanager on HDA1, though...) Travis

Your bios definitely supports it, as otherwise you couldn't be able to boot Debain. You mentioned it's installed after tyhe 8GB point, so you should be safe. A pretty good alternative I use (DOS/W98/OS2/Debian) is BootMagic from PowerQuest. With BootMagic you can (amoung other things) specify w

I've had some troubles with my (serial) mouse. Make sure you hardlink your mouse (in my case /dev/ttyS1) to /dev/mouse. That should enable you to use your mouse in X. Good luck! Richard. Darren Wyn Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > [re-sent with correctly subscribed address; apologies for > any

You mentioned a Windoze-PC, sh I'd suggest you make a separate partition on that one and do a "tar zcvf" to that partition. RAR for Linux might be an option as well... It's faster than using a CD-RW and, for once, you'll make proper use of your windoze-machine ;-) Jeroen Valcke wrote: > > Hel

Okay, Login remotely using whatever ID and enter "su -" The machine will ask for the root password. Enter that and type: "ps -fA | grep gnome" (otherwise you'll be flooded with PID's). If you can't find the session, enter "ps -fA | less" so you'll be able to scroll through the entire proces
