Believe me, I don't want to give up on Debian. I would really really like to get it up and running. My biggest problem is Win2000 is installed on the C drive, or first drive, and Debian is installed on the D drive. I would like to stay with LILO if possible. I'm about to break down and install it onto the same drive as Win2000. I'll just make another partition on it...I have 20 gigs free on it so I don't have a problem with installing something else on it. Then some of the tutorials and the installation might make sense.
