<ext> I think the 98 install on my Pentium may have trashed LILO. I cannot active the LILO menu with any combination of ctrl/alt/shift. I think I can recover w/ the recovery disk. </ext>
Yes, Windows doesn't ask, it just takes. Specifically, it takes the master boot record -- it likes to assume that it's the primary or only OS. You can easily restore the master boot record to Linux. From Windows, go into the CD-ROM. In the install directory, there's a file called boot.bat. Running this will run Linux installation. If it doesn't work from Windows, you can reboot in MSDOS mode and it'll work from there. (As it turns out, you don't even need a rescue floppy!) Then, in the installation menus, choose "Make Linux Bootable from the Hard Drive" or some such. Linux will get the MBR again. (As I like to say at that point in the process, "Mine! Give it back!") Then you can boot Linux and redo lilo.conf and lilo. ========================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==========================
