BTW, lilo-0.21.5-1mdk.i586.rpm on Cooker gives a nice menu, but it
installs /boot/boot.b as a link to boot-menu.b, so drakboot can't make you
a boot floppy - it can't open boot.b. "Progress means deterioation."
I don't understand what/who is wrong here. Are you talking about drakfloppy
("Create a boot floppy") or really drakboot ("Configure LILO/GRUB")
I don't see what can be failing...
Sorry - I meant drakfloppy of course - but mkbootdisk fails too, so the
problem is with lilo, not drakfloppy.

mkbootdisk don't understand that symlink, I remove symlink boot.b and I
create a real boot-menu (cp /boot/boot-menu.b /boot/boot.b).
In this way it works;o)
Sorry, is not a new problem ... but I forget to report it ;o/
Good work ;o)
