Re: [newbie] grub lilo

2003-10-27 Thread Raffaele Belardi
For the differences: Lilo uses the BIOS to access the partition where the image is residing. It is file-system independent. This is accomplished at boot sector installation time, by translating the location of the kernel image into a list of disk sectors, which then LILO loads using the BIOS.

Re: [newbie] wrong hd geometry in 9.1

I'll answer myself... You can pass drive geometry to the kernel with hda=C,H,S (i.e at installation screen you hit F1, then type $ linux hda=C,H,S). Unfortunately this doesn't solve any problem I had with the MDK9.1 installation, the problem must be elsewhere. Now I'm looking into DMA-related

Re: [newbie] multivolume tar

2003-10-21 Thread Raffaele Belardi
Yes you can :-) $ tar cf archive.tar -L N directory_to_tar/ N is the archive length in Kbytes. tar writes the first archive file, then prompts you to change volume. You rename archive.tar to archive1.tar and continue. I agree that you cannot compress at the same time as you split with tar.
