Hello Steven - ---------- > A couple of days ago, I got another request for LILO > from a BasicLinux user, so I've prepared a simple > version. Any of you guys interested in trying it?
If I'm remembering this corectly LILO is to multiboot to various partitions and OS? I remember there is also LOADLIN and I get them confused. :-\ Newbie, what can I say? I guess that puts me in the "maybe" category? I haven't gotten around to installing BL on my hard drive as yet. I was concerned about the drive letters cascading on me if I picked partiton G: (I have A-J on here) but it dawned on me I could move I: to G: and use I: instead. Then only references to I: need reconfigurations and most of the apps on I: are self-contained and not referenced by the rest of the system. J: is a for temp files only. :-) Once I `found' a partition to use I got side tracked by Oberon. I had to rewrite the com-module to recognize my modem on COM4. They never updated Native/Beta Oberon to use all four comports. :-\ Problem is I've never programmed in Pascal or Modula2 and Oberon is sort-of Modula3 but not really. I just got the serial port module rewritten, recompiled and working after a reboot. I can use the mini-terminal within Oberon but am now fighting the PPP login to my ISP - remember all that? Wasn't fun with Linux, won't be fun with Oberon either. Seems I keep finding OS I have to rewrite/rework to get connected to my ISP. Bad luck I guess? Charles.Angelich DOS the Ghost in the Machine!
