In a question about something else, which has since been answered, I had written: Laura> What is the Version of a boot sector? How would I change Laura> it if I wanted to? What is causing it to expect version Laura> 21.7? I just ran into the error message that prompted that again, while running mkbootdisk. I reran the mkbootdisk script with -x, and found that it's a LILO message: + /sbin/lilo -r /tmp/mkbootdisk Fatal: First boot sector is version 20.0. Expecting version 21.7. mkbootdisk does in fact chug along writing to the floppy for a while after giving me that message, but the designation Fatal doesn't lead me to want to trust the disk. So what should I do to make LILO happier? And meanwhile, do I have a boot disk? And if not, how do I get one? -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
