For two of the messages that got sent out last night. First on making a
boot disk. It worked perfectly, and I am now running 2.2.16 instead of the
2.2.13 kernel that I got off the distro CD. Not only that but my clunky boot
that my wife hardly understood is gone too.
The other thing was regarding the detailed explaination of the boot sequence
and how LILO interacts with it. I finally understood what processes were
going on and how the boot got handed off.
My question on the boot is this: with both Choose OS (CHOS) and LILO I get
complaints about where I have installed Linux, about 8Gb in on a 13.6 Gb
disk. Something to the effect that my BIOS may not recognize where I have
installed Linux.
I am loathe to insert a /boot partition which would reduce the size of my
Win98 partition (5 Gb), as in my experience keeping Win98 all in one giant
partition works very well.
Are there any ways that I can use a boot manager that will recognize my
Linux partition that deep in my disk?
My mobo is a VA 503+ v1.2 running a modern VIA BIOS, which I hear supports
disks to 30Gb, if that makes any difference.
