Just a quick follow-up to correct a typo: the command to run after editing /etc/lilo.conf is
/sbin/lilo -v (I believe I ran two words together, which might have been confusing) Also as to placement of the append line; it goes in the stanza that looks something like this one: image=/vmlinuz label=Linux initrd=/boot/initrd.gz read-only append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" you may or may not have the initrd line, depending on your kernel. Don't change anything except the append line. And then after saving, run lilo as above. (this bears repeating as it is easy to forget!) I have two CD drives, hdc and hdd. You may have only one, in which case the two entries are unnecessary, although they won't harm anything. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
