additional lilo configuration
Would anybody object if I extend the lilo configuration routine a bit? I think now, when lilo comes with menu-boot.b as default, we could include bootable primary partitions in this menu.

MOL might help with PPC/PMac specific parts. Or.. Is there any reason why dbootstrap can't be run on a running system? Just chroot the install initrd image and run it directly. I might have to play with that tonight. I'll see if I can catch the ritual goat sacrifice mentioned in my sig. I've done this before (not the ritual goat sacrifice - running dbootstrap on a live system). You just chroot it as normal. Get the install disks, work out which disk contains the binaries, and hunt around until you actually find the one that launches the install sequence - if you do it from an xterm then you can snapshot as much as you need.

If you can prep the drive in another machine then why not just do the base install on the other machine? Get the base installed, get it booting, then move it over to the other(damaged) machine and do whatever you want with the fresh install. - Nick Lopez [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The greatest programming project of all took six days; on the seventh day the programmer rested.
