There're - as usual - several ways to get around this problem: * Create a small /boot partition (10MB) within the 1024 limit. * Try to install lilo with the "-L" option, this should work with a recent version of lilo. If your lilo doesn't have this option you can try lilo -l. see man lilo for more information. * Use another bootmanager regards, -- Staf Wagemakers email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage : http://www.digibel.org/~staf
