Reply with your lilo.conf file if the following doesn't work. Have you tried hitting left shift when lilo prompts to see if you can choose the windows boot option? for Xwindows (4.1 in testing?) try installing: xfree86-common xbase-clients xfonts-100dpi xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xserver-common xserver-xfree86 Please also include your /etc/apt/sources.list for your apt problems. --mike
