Should have proof read before I sent the message, it sounds a bit confusing now that I read it. Look for the words linux boot floppy for clarification. Also to the list I appologize if I've been sending HTML the dang windows machine reverted on me again and I didn't notice nor check it. Sooooorrrry! Dennis M.

Subject: RE: [newbie] removing boot manager
Did you make a boot floppy during the initial installation? If so you are good to go. If not go to Mandrake control center>boot>make boot floppy or something close to that(I'm not at the linux computer yet) Make the boot floppy for the partition you set it to and then log off. If you already have the floppy made go directly to this step and that is boot up with the MS start up floppy in and go to dos prompt on boot. In Win98 it just takes a ctrl-F5 to get the a: prompt but at any rate, once you are at the command prompt type "fdisk /mbr" and you will have the normal windows boot back. Slip in the linux boot floppy and boot and you will get a lilo prompt to boot linux. That's how it should work if everything is set the same on your machine as is on mine. HTH Dennis M.

Subject: [newbie] removing boot manager
I installed Mandrake 8.0 a couple days ago. What a ride. I installed it on a machine with Win98se already running. Now, I like the os, but I don't want a
boot manager on this system. I'd much rather boot from a floppy to access the os. Can someone help with removing the boot manager and then configuring to
boot to Mandrake 8 from floppy?
