I've got an unused 6GB Fat32 partition on this laptop. See any risks to my existing partitions if I try and do a new install on that Fat32 partition? Will it overwrite the MBR that my existing lilo setup wrote? Or will the installer see I have another system and add it to the boot menu? I'm using lilo. I'm not clear how to setup lilo in this case. I assume I need to pick one lilo.conf and make sure it writes to the mbr and also provides booting for both systems. laptop:/home/moseley# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 20.0 GB, 20003880960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 758 6088603+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 2402 2432 249007+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 2280 2401 979965 83 Linux /dev/hda4 759 2279 12217432+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
